JAQUETT FAMILY 




1/ i. Pierre Jaquet, a citizen of Geneva, was born 
the latter part of the fifteenth century. The family 
is said to have originated in the 
vicinity of Gex, Savoy, France. 
("Armorial Genevois.") The 
arms of the family* are pro- 
duced in color in "Armorial 
Genevois, par J. B.-G. Galiffe, 
Adolphe Gautier et Aymon Ga- 
liffe. Nouvelle editione. Gen- 
eve. Georg & Co., Libraires- 
editeurs, 1896," at plate 22. 
These same arms are mentioned 
by Rietstap as d'azur au chev., 
ace. en chef de deux itoiles (5), en p. d'un croiss. These 
arms were modified at later date by various branches 
of the family, apparently for differentiation. On page 
19 of the "Armorial" is the following: — 

"Jaquet, Galiffe, Grenus, Naville (authorities). Variantes: i° 
Selon un cachet 1665, le croissant remplace par une fleur de lys, ac- 
compagne'e ou non de 3 ttoiles. 2° Selon un cachet 1693 avec le nom, 
une fleur de lys accompagnee de 6 etoiles, une en chef, une en pointe et 
deux a chaque flanc. 3 le chevron d'or. Les Jaquet annoblis par 
diplome de Prusse 1723! portent d' 'argent au chevron de geules ac- 
compagnee en chef d'une fasce haussce d'azur charge"e de 3 etoiles du 
champ, et en pointe d'une aigle eployee de sable.' 1 

Pierre Jaquet is mentioned in 1550 as the late Pierre 
Jaquet, father of Francois (3), in the marriage contract 
of the latter, hereafter quoted. He must have married 



* The arms in former edition are incorrect. 
ti723 is error, 171.5 being correct date.

trusted with the payment of the accounts of the Seig- 
neurie for the Public Works, and performed that duty 
gratuitously with much credit. The Seigneurs of the 
Chamber of Accounts reported that Sr. Louis de Jaquet 
had charge of the payment of the accounts for the work 
done to the barracks and other public buildings, under- 
taken in 1783, that the funds which had passed through 
his hands for that object amounted to almost 1,500,000 
florins, and that the details of the accounts which he had 
to pay were immense ; that he was occupied in that mat- 
ter seven years without not only compensation but 
also indemnity ; that in spite of the exactness with which 
he had conducted it and the care he had taken, he had 
found a difference of near 5000 florins between the war- 
rants he had received and the disbursements he had 
made, the cause of which discrepancy he could not dis- 



20 JAQUETT FAMILY 

cover ; that he had restored this account to the Chamber 
of Accounts; that the Chamber, not doubting but that 
he had made an omission to his prejudice, which it was 
just to reimburse, did not wish to receive the sum and 
had told him how little equity there was, that, having 
given his care, laborious and attentive, during many 
years to the accounts of the Seigneurie, &c, he found 
himself, nevertheless, obliged to make up a deficiency 
from his own funds ; that, notwithstanding that, the said 
Sr. de Jaquet had persisted to request of the Chamber 
that it receive the aforesaid sum, declaring that if he 
received it back, it was in deference to the Chamber and 
as a trust until they had discovered the error, without 
which he could not profit by it. The report was referred 
to M le Syndic Grenus that he might act so that Sr. de 
Jaquet did not lose the sum in question, which the 
Council did not consider belonged legally to the Seig- 
neurie, and to render appreciation of the Council for the 
trouble he had gratuitously taken in the public affairs

which, however, he had not considered proper to do in 
Geneva, his native land, but, being about to give his 
son Jean an establishment in a foreign country, where 



JAQUETT FAMILY 21 

it was advantageous to make use of the right given in 
the letters, he prayed the Council to examine them. 
The Council, therefore, declared that Jean had the right 
to call himself and sign his name de Jaquet. He d. Aug.

born the early part of the sixteenth century. 

Record of the Council of Two Hundred: January 8, 
1572, Francois Jaquet mentioned as having become a 
member in 1546. 



24 JAQUETT FAMILY 

Francois Jaquet's first wife was Marie, dau. of 

Claude Maillet, citizen of Geneva, and Maguerite de 

Livron. His second marriage was performed at St. 
Peter's, Geneva, the record being as follows: 

"This Sunday, the 15th of the month of June, 1550, at the evening 
service of 3 o'clock were married Francois Jaquet, a citizen of Geneva, 
and Isabelle, daughter of Jehan Philippin, also a citizen of Geneva, 
by me, F. Bourgoing, pastor." 

According to Mr. Dufour-Vernes : "Francois Jaquet, 
a citizen of Geneva, became a member of the Council of 
Two Hundred in 1546; proprietor of lands in Geneva 
and surrounding localities; died between 1572 and 1576, 
having made his last will before J. L. Blecheret, a notary, 
April 14, 1572; he married Isabelle, daughter of Jean 
Philippin, a nobleman and citizen of Geneva, June 15, 
1550 (contract before G. Messiez, notary, Aug 16, 1550). 
He resided at Bourg-de-Four. Year after year he is 
mentioned in the records of the Small Council, or Council 
of State, and as a Member of the Council of Two Hundred 
as late as 1572. In 1573 his name ceases to be found, 
which is proof of his death in 1572. It is probable he 
died at Troinex, near Geneva, where he possessed a house, 
as is shown by an interesting deed of partition between 
his children, dated December 5, 1577 (Notary Jaques 
Cusin)."

(Acquittance for the noble Jehan Philippin.) 

In the name of God, Amen! 
Be it known to everybody by this present instrument, that in the 
current year of the nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, one thousand 
five hundred and fifty, on the Sixteenth day of August, in the presence 
of me the undersigned, a sworn notary public and a citizen of Geneva, 
and the witnesses hereinafter named, personally constituted herself 
the honorable Isabelle, daughter of the noble Jehan Philippin, a 
citizen of Geneva, acting in these presents with authority, willingness 
and consent of honorable Francoys Jaquet, merchant and citizen of 
Geneva, her husband present, consenting, authorizing and empower- 
ing his said wife to pass upon the following things. Which said 
Ysabelle, authorized as before, knowing and well advised, for her- 



JAQUETT FAMILY 25 

self and her heirs and successors whomsoever, makes over, surrenders, 
delivers, transfers and abandons, in the best form and manner possible 
and feasible, to the aforesaid noble Jehan Philippin, her father, here 
present and covenanting and receiving for himself and his heirs and 
successors whomsoever, to wit, each and all rights, titles, shares, 
portions and claims, present and future, belonging or which may be- 
long to the said Ysabelle, to fatherly, motherly, brotherly and sisterly 
estates, personal and real, whatsoever and wheresoever situate and 
located, reserved and expressly retained by the said Isabelle with the 
consent of the said noble Jehan Philippin, her father, here present, to 
wit, her true right of collateral succession, whenever and wherever it 
may befall her by law as well as by custom, in order that the herein- 
before surrendered and delivered goods may be had, held, enjoyed 
and forever possessed by the said noble Jehan Philippin and his, and 
to do with them and dispose of them as his own goods and as 
he pleases. And this is done by the said Ysabelle, in pursuance of the 
above said authority, in consideration of five hundred florins, small 
weight, each worth twelve sous, together with dresses and accoutre- 
ments given her and settled on her in marriage by the said noble Jehan 
Philippin, her father, which settlement appears by an instrument made 
by me the undersigned notary and bearing even date with the present 
one. Of which surrendered and delivered goods the said Ysabelle, 
with the authorization of her said husband, has divested and is divest- 
ing herself by these presents, and Jehan Philippin, her father, is in- 
vesting himself, by the delivery of a writing pen and the execution of 
these presents, as is the custom in such cases to invest, with all prom- 
ises, renunciations and provisos necessary and expedient. 

Done and passed in Geneva at the residence of the said noble 
Jehan Philippin, near the place du Mollar, in the presence of the dis- 
tinguished Pierre Vachat, a notary and citizen of Geneva, and the 
honorable Claude de la Corbiere, merchant-clothier, a citizen of Ge- 
neva, and Oddet Jaquet, a broker and citizen of Geneva, as witnesses 
hereunto invited as required. 

Protocols of Notary Guillaume Messiez, vol. IV.,

Marriage for the Honorable Francoys Jaquet, merchant and 
citizen of Geneva, and the Honorable Ysabelle, his wife. 

In the name of God, Amen. 

Know all men, and be it manifest by this present and public 
instrument, that in the current year of the nativity of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, one thousand five hundred and fifty, on the sixteenth 
day ot the month of August, a marriage has been contracted, pub- 
licly solemnized by the holy church, and consummated between the 
honorable Francoys, son of the late Pierre Jaquet, merchant and 
citizen of Geneva, of the one part, and the honorable Ysabelle, daugh- 



26 JAQUETT FAMILY 

ter of the noble Jehan Philippin, also a citizen and merchant of 
Geneva, of the other part. In consideration of which marriage, 
and because dowers and marriage settlements proceed from the side 
of wives, in order that husbands may more easily support the charges, 
and also if, in case of the husbands' decease, it should happen that 
wives did not remain unmarried. 

So it is that, in the presence of the undersigned sworn notary 
public, a citizen of Geneva, and the hereinafter named witnesses, 
the aforesaid noble Jehan Philippin, father of said Ysabelle, has 
personally constituted himself. Knowing and being well advised, 
he settles, gives and presents of his free will, without any constraint, 
for himself, his heirs and successors whomsoever, as a dowry and 
for the benefit of the said Ysabelle, to the aforesaid honorable Fran- 
coys Jaquet, her husband, here present and covenanting and re- 
ceiving for her and hers, and in the name and with the aid of the 
said Ysabelle his wife and spouse, their heirs and successors whom- 
soever, to wit, a sum of five hundred gold florins, small weight, worth 
twelve sous each, good money current in this country, for her mar- 
riage, and for her nuptial accoutrements and clothes two dresses 
and two ornamented bodices, of good broadcloth, according to the 
property of the marriage and persons. And which five hundred 
florins, dresses and bodices, hereinbefore presented, the said Fran- 
coys Jaquet, husband, acknowledges to have actually received from 
the said noble Jehan Philippin, constitute^ to wit, the said five 
hundred florins, in the presence of me notary and the witnesses here- 
inafter named, in good gold crowns and money now current, and 
the said dresses and bodices, as he says and acknowledges, prior to 
this present instrument, so that, satisfied with these five hundred 
florins, dresses and bodices, they therefore receipt and acquit the 
said noble constituter, his heirs and successors whomsoever, with 
the express pact never to claim them anymore nor quarrel about 
them. And in case (what God forbid) a dissolution of said marriage 
should take place the said Francois Jaquet, knowing and well ad- 
vised, for himself and his, gives and presents for the advancement 
and augmentation of said marriage to the said Ysabelle, his wife, 
present, covenanting and receiving for her and her heirs and succes- 
sors whomsoever, to wit, a sum of two hundred and fifty florins, 
small weight, money as above, as a pure and irrevocable donation 
between living ones; which two hundred and fifty florins together 
with the marriage donation and the dresses hereinbefore mentioned 
the said Jaquet, for himself and his as before, promises, under oath 
and by special bond and mortgage on all his present and future per- 
sonal and real estate, to pay and restore to the said Ysabelle, his 
wife, present, as above, and hers as the case may be in the future, 
should a dissolution of said marriage occur, according to the usages 
and customs of the place and country, immediately after the said 
case of dissolution has taken place, with all damages, costs, expenses 



JAQUETT FAMILY 27 

and commissions. And the joint parties, for themselves and their 
heirs as above, have promised by taking an oath upon God's holy 
scriptures, before me the said notary, and by bond and special mort- 
gage on each and all of their real and personal property, present 
and future, that the hereinbefore stated things are wholly agreeable 
to them, stable, firm and valid forever, and will never in whole or 
part be transgressed upon by them or others, but will both wholly 
keep and observe them. Equally the joint parties, in pursuance 
of their oath and bond as above, relinquish all and singular such rights, 
edicts, statutes and privileges as well as all actions, exceptions, de- 
ceptions, cavillings, franchises and freedoms — written and unwrit- 
ten — by means of which they could or would attempt, say or do 
anything contradictory to the foregoing things and the contents of 
these presents, and even the rule stating that a general renuncia- 
tion is invalid if not proceeded by a special one; the said parties 
wishing that of the above things a public instrument be drawn up 
for each one by me the undersigned notary. 

Given, done and passed in Geneva, at the residence of the said 
noble Jehan Philippin, near the place du Mollar, in the presence of 
the distinguished Pierre Vachat, a notary and citizen of Geneva, 
and the honorable Claude de la Corbiere, a merchant-clothier and 
citizen of Geneva, and Oddet Jaquet, a broker and citizen of Geneva,

Testament of the Honorable Francoys Jaquet, citizen and mer- 
chant of Geneva. 

In the name of everlasting and almighty God, and by this present 
public instrument be it known and manifest to every one, that in the 
current year of our Lord one thousand five hundred and seventy-two, 
on the fourteenth day of the month of April, in the presence of me the 
undersigned Jehan Lois Blechert, a citizen and sworn notary public 
of Geneva, and the witnesses hereinafter named, personally constituted 
himself the honorable Francoys Jaquet, a citizen and merchant of 
said Geneva, who being of sound judgment and understanding and 
good memory — although by the will of God prostrated in bed because 
of a certain bodily illness — considering that nothing is more certain 
than death and nothing more uncertain than the hour thereof and 
that it is the duty of a good family father to prevent any quarrels, 
doubts and contentions which might arise about the possessions of his 
inheritance between those who will succeed him, 

For that purpose — after having invoked God's help and prayed 
that in the name of his dear Son, our only Saviour and Redeemer, the 
Lord Jesus Christ, he may forgive him all his past faults, and by his 
Holy Spirit guide the remainder of his days, that his life may be 
redundant of everything to the honor and glory of God, the edifica- 
tion of neighbors and the salvation of the said testator's soul — he has 
made, dictated and ordered his nuncupative testament, containing his 
ultimate disposition and direction about all of his said possessions, 
and requested me, the said undersigned notary, to put it in writing 
for future memory, in manner as follows: 

In the first place, the said testator gives and bequeathes unto the 
poor of the General Hospital of this city of Geneva, five florins; unto 
the purse for poor foreigners another five florins, and unto the college 



JAQUETT FAMILY 29 

of this said city another five florins, which he wishes and directs to be 
paid and delivered to them, by his hereinafter named heirs, three 
months after his decease. 

Item. The said testator wishes and directs that the honorable 
Elizabet, his beloved wife, be honorably provided for from all his 
possessions, with his hereinafter named heirs, without any diminution 
of her rights, and that all things necessary to her be furnished and 
supplied her at the expense of his said heirs as long as she shall live 
honestly and in widowhood. 

Item, he gives and bequeathes unto his beloved daughters Jaqueme 
and Pernette a sum of five hundred florins each, . . . and which 
he wishes and directs shall be paid and delivered to them by his said 
hereinafter named heirs as soon as they shall have arrived at the 
holy state of matrimony, and that meanwhile they be provided for 
from all of his possessions, by his said hereinafter named heirs, . . . 
in consideration of which he wishes and directs that his said daughters 
shall hold themselves satisfied of the share which they could claim 
and have to the possessions of the said testator, of which he disposes 
and excludes them by these presents. And whereas the main object 
of any testament is the hereditary institution, the said testator has 
made, institutes, directs and with his own mouth has appointed and 
appoints his universal heirs, to wit, Abram, Yzac, Jehan, Pierre, Jacob, 
Ayme\ Jaques and Daniel, his beloved children each of them for an 
equal share, . . . leaving the bringing up of these, his said chil- 
dren, and the management of his possessions with the said Elizabet 
Philippin, his wife, whom, as far as in his power, he appoints guardian, 
administratrix and manager over them, on condition, however, that 
she shall have an inventory made of all of his said possessions, and in 
the said administration make use of the advice and counsel of Noble 
Jehan Philippin, father-in-law, honorable Pierre Jaquet, nephew, and 
Jehan Verle, brother-in-law of the said testator, whom he appoints 
councellors; praying all of them to accept the said charge, and further 
praying my lords the sovereigns and very honorable superiors of this 
said city and all other lords administering justice, who shall be re- 
quired, to allow and suffer this present testament, containing his said 
last nuncupative disposition of direction of last will, to be carried out 
to its full and whole extent by all the best means, so that, according to 
law as well as laudable edicts and customs of the land, it can and 
must be valid; to the effect of which he breaks, cancels and revokes 
all other testaments, codicils and donation which might be found 
having previously been made by him in the event of death, and prays 
the hereinafter named witnesses to keep it well in mind, so as to give 
true testimony about it, if required, and that by me, notary, one or 
more instruments shall be drawn up thereof in as many clauses as may 
be required, by means of whom it may concern. 

Done and published at Geneva aforesaid, in the dwelling house of 
said testator, in the presence of the honorable persons Jehan Veilier,

Record of the Council (for private matter): 

April 29, 1577, Elizabeth Philippin, widow of Francois 
Jaquet, and Pierre Jaquet, guardian with her, of the 
minors Abraham and Isaac Jaquet, and authorized to 
act concerning said minors' welfare. 

June 17 and 18, 1577, the Council hears complaint of 
Abraham Jaquet concerning his stepmother Elizabeth 
Philippin, with reference to the management of the 
estate of Francois Jaquet. (Not important, except as 
indicating that Abraham was by first marriage.) 

June 24, 1577, the same matter. 

September 12, 1577, Abraham Jaquet complains 
that his stepmother and half brother delay in turning 
over to him the total settlement of his late mother. 

Order made that petition be complied with. 

March 1, 1577 (1578?), Elizabeth, widow of Francois 
Jaquet, presented a petition for the appointment of 
appraisers. She mentions "her four male children and 
daughter, whom she had by the late Francois Jaquet and 
who are deceased ;' ' that Abraham, " son of the first mar- 
riage of the said Francois Jaquet claims a share," etc.

Instruments of Notary Jaques Cusin, vol. X, page 26: 

Partition of the Estate of the late honorable Francoys Jaquet, 
citizen of Geneva, between his heirs. 

Be it known and manifest to all men by these presents: 
Since it is that the late honorable Francoys Jaquet, in his life 
time a merchant and citizen of Geneva, has by his last will insti- 
tuted his universal heirs the honorable Abraham, his son by first 
marriage, Isaac, Pierre, Jehan, Jacob, Ayme\ Daniel and Jaques, his 
children by second marriage, each of them for an equal share, and 
also given and bequeathed to Isabel* and Pernette, his daughters, 

* This must refer to Jaqu^me. 



JAQUETT FAMILY 31 

for their wedding a sum of five hundred florins each, together with 
their wedding garments, excluding them from all of his other pos- 
sessions, according to the contents of the said instrument of last will 
received and signed by Egrege Jehan Loys Bl^cheret on the four- 
teenth day of the month of April of the year one thousand five hun- 
dred and seventy-two, and that since have died the said Jehan, 
Jacob, Ayme and Daniel Jaquet and the said Isabel, their sister, 
intestate and in pupilage, and that the said Abraham Jaquet has 
brought against the honorable Isabel, relict of the said late Francoys 
Jaquet, his step-mother, as guardian of himself as well as of her said 
other children, demanding of her one fourth portion of each and all 
the goods proceeded from the succession of the said deceased Fran- 
coys Jaquet, his father, and to render to him an account of the said 
one-fourth portion. And that thereupon the said guardian and con- 
jointly with her the said Isaac, her son, and the honorable Pierre 
Jaquet, their cousin, a citizen of Geneva, and curator of the said 
Pierre, Jaques and Pernette Jaquet, wards, of the one part, and the 
said Abraham Jaquet, of the other part, were at variance and in 
dispute, the said guardian and the said Isaac, her son, and Pierre 
Jaquet, curator as aforesaid, averring that only one-eighth portion 
of the said goods is coming to him and that he cannot succeed to his 
said deceased brothers and sister, as well because he is only related 
to them on the father's side as because the said goods are not sub- 
jected to any substitution, but that the part and portion of said 
deceased children belongs to the said guardian and her said surviving 
children of the second marriage as being related on both sides and 
therefore nearer and abler to succeed their said deceased brothers 
and sister, also conformably to the ordinances of said City, — and 
the said Abraham on the contrary averring that, as well in law as by 
virtue of the selfsame ordinances, the said fourth portion belongs to 
him, the more so because there is but the question of the succession 
to the goods of one and the same father; that many of these goods 
are taxable, and they would have him bear equally the taxes and 
expenses of their house although he had not lived nor stopped there 
since his father's death. And that the said parties, in order to avoid 
costs, litigation and vexation, and the more because there was partly 
question of pupillary goods, should consequently have petitioned our 
very honorable Sirs Syndics and Councillors of this city to determine 
as well the said difference as others which might arise between the 
said parties on account of the said succession and partition of the 
said goods without form of process, it was their good pleasure to 
commission such of the Sirs of their Councils as they thought best, 
and that thereupon our said Sirs by their decree of the first of March 
last commissioned the noble and honored Sirs Dechasteauneuf, 
Magistri and Varre, councilors, and that to this effect the said ap- 
pointed Sirs met on the twenty-fifth of April last and — after having 
considered and understood everything and heard the said parties 



32 JAQUETT FAMILY 

about all that which they averred, alleged and remonstrated — decided 
and agreed as follows: 

In the first place, that there be peace and good friendship between 
the said parties. Item, That the four surviving brothers shall equally 
divide between them in four shares one-half of the goods of the estate 
of their said deceased father, and as regards the other half which did 
belong to their said four deceased brothers — whereas the succession 
to them appertains as well to their mother and the said Pernette, 
their surviving sister, as to these surviving brothers — that the same 
shall be divided into six parts of which the said four brothers, the 
said Isabel, mother of the said deceased ones, and the said Pernette, 
their sister, shall have one-sixth portion each, whilst that which 
might have belonged to their said deceased sister shall remain in the 
mass of said goods as if she had never been in existence. Item, 
That the said Abraham shall be held to pay in future to the said 
Isabel, his stepmother, for her share of the bequest made to her an 
annuity created by the said testament, a sum of twenty-five florins 
annually, one-half every six months, so long as she shall not recover 
her dowry and increase. Item, that the dowry of the said Abraham 
Jaquet's late mother shall be paid to him and deducted from the 
mass of the said estate prior to its partition without, however, paying 
him any interest; and that with regard thereto this Abraham shall 
stand acquitted of the one hundred florins bequeathed to his brothers 
to make them learn a trade, by means of which he would approve 
the rendering of an account of the said guardian of her administra- 
tion as his other brothers, and that this decision shall be accepted 
by the said parties with promise to keep and observe it, and also be 
decreed and approved by our said Sirs pursuant to the contents of 
an instrument subscribed by Egrere Alliod, in date of the said decree 
of the twenty-ninth day of the said month of April, to which — if 
required — reference is here made. 

Therefore it is that in the year one thousand five hundred and 
seventy-seven, on the fifth day of the month of December, agreeably 
to the contents of the said Accord and for the observation thereof, 
before me Jaques Cusin, a citizen and sworn notary public of Geneva, 
undersigned, and the hereinafter named witnesses, personally ap- 
peared and identified themselves the above-named Isabel, relict of 
the said deceased Francoys Jaquet, acting on her own behalf as well 
as in capacity of guardian of the said Pierre, Jaques and Pernette 
Jaquet, her children, with the honorable Pierre Jaquet their curator, 
and the said Isaac Jaquet acting on his own behalf, of the one part, 
and the said Abraham Jaquet assisted, advised and counselled by the 
noble Estienne Malliet, citizen and councilor of this city, his first 
cousin, of the other part; which parties — well knowing and well 
advised — voluntarily and of their own free will, for themselves, their 
said wards and their heirs and successors to come, each one of them 
as much as may concern or regard him, did and by these presents do 



JAQUETT FAMILY 33

Jaquet, permanently and irrevocably in the way and manner follow-

as an equivalent and in consideration of the remission and shares 
of the goods hereabove specified and stated, the said Abraham Ja-

sworn notary public of Geneva, and the hereinafter named witnesses,

ian of Pierre, Jaques and Pernette Jaquet, her children, and the 
honorable Isaac Jaquet in his own and private name, on the first part, 
and the honorable Abraham Jaquet, a citizen of Geneva, of the other

vice of the honorable Pierre Jaquet, a citizen of Geneva, curator of the 
said Pierre, Jaques and Pernette Jaquet, and the said Abraham by

day of April of the year first ended, the first payment for the first 
expired year beginning on the twenty-fifth of April next coming, and 
this over and above the share he is held to pay of the annuity of the 
said Elizabet, his step-mother, as by the Accord hereabove mentioned. 
Item, that the said Isabel, in name as above, and the said Isaac 
Jaquet, her son, in his own and private name, shall be held and bound 
to pay and satisfy to the said Abraham Jaquet a sum of three hundred 
forty-one florins, seven sous and eight pennies which sum they owe 
him still as a remainder as well of one one hundred and twenty-five 
florins by reason of the allotments of the real estate left by the said 
Francoys Jaquet which has been partitioned between the said par- 
ties, as for their share of four hundred florins, amounting to a sum of 
three hundred sixteen florins and eight sous for dotal restitution of 
the mother of the said Abraham Jaquet. And which sum of three 
hundred and forty-one florins, seven and eight pennies they shall be 
bound to pay within the first next ensuing year, already commenced 
on the twenty-fifth of April last past with rent and interest of the said

Item, it has been reserved to the said Abraham Jaquet that he can 
recover from the said Elizabet that which he claims to belong to him 
as his share of the furniture retained by the said Elizabet which, as

the possessions of the said late Francoys Jaquet. Item, that is 
reserved to him to recover as well from the said Elizabet as from her 
said children that which may come to him and belong to him of the 
clothing, rings and jewelry which he pretends has been received by the 
said late Jaquet, his father, from Marie Malliet, mother of the said 
Abraham, as by reason and right is expedient to him. Item, that all 
claims and titles issuing from the inheritance of the said deceased 
Jaquet, and other instruments and documents which now might belong 
to the said parties, shall be put for their preservation in a trunk to 
which the said Abraham shall have a key. Item, that the said 
Abraham shall be held to pay and satisfy unto the said Isaac, his 
brother, the fourth and sixth portion of a sum of one hundred and 
seven florins, in which sum the said Elizabet, as guardian of her said

mother and son swearing that the said sum is really due to the said 
Isaac, it having not been paid in any manner or shape whatever, and 
that the said bond has not been paid by collusion. And save and 
under reserve by the parties respectively of any error of account or 
calculation in the foregoing, to prevail thereof as it is fit. For thus has 
been resolved upon by the said parties who have respectively prom- 
ised to have and hold the contents of the present accord agreeable, 
firm, stable and valid without contravening it, under and with oath,

Instruments of Notary Etienne Demonthouz, vol. 
XLIX, page 151: 

Accord and transaction between the honorable Elisabeth Philippin, 
widow of the late honorable Francoys Jacquet, and the honorables 
Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, citizens of Geneva, her children. 

Be it manifest to all men, &c. Since the honorable Elizabeth 
Philippin, widow of the late honorable Francoys Jacquet, for some 
reasons which may have moved her hereto, wished to recover from the 
estate of her said late husband Francoys Jacquet the following things, 
Firstly, a sum of five hundred florins, with two hundred and fifty 
florins increase and addition thereof, and other things settled upon 
her as a dowry by her father the late noble Jehan Philippin, accord- 
ing to the contents of the deed and articles of marriage on this sub- 
ject (received and subscribed by Messiez) dated the sixteenth day of 
the month of August of the year one thousand five hundred and fifty. 
Item, a sum of three hundred and seventy-five florins, for an annuity 
owed and promised to be paid her by Isaac, Pierre and Jaques Jacquet, 
her children, due for the last five years since the year one thousand 
five hundred and eighty one until this day included. Item, claimed 
said widow from the said estate, to wit, one-eighth portion of the 
estate left by the said late Francoys Jacquet, as per deed of partition 
and accord made between the said widow and her said children (sub- 
scribed Cusin) in the year one thousand five hundred and seventy- 
seven, on the fifth of December. Item, over and besides the above 
and having collected the said one-eighth portion, she claimed the suc- 
cession and inheritance of her son Jacques Jacquet who died intes- 
tate about five years ago, with restitution of the income of this suc- 
cession. Item, the said widow claimed from her son the said Isaac 



38 JAQUETT FAMILY 

Jacquet, a sum of one hundred and thirty-five florins due her by the 
said Isaac as per deed (subscribed Delarue) dated the twenty-fourth 
of May of the year one thousand five hundred and eighty-one. Item, 
also claimed to be paid and reimbursed a sum of six hundred and 
eighty florins and one sou, paid by her to Mr. Estienne Groz, being 
the principal of a bond (subscribed Dupont) and acquittance un- 
derneath (subscribed Blandin) of the twenty-ninth of May of the year 
one thousand five hundred and eighty-four, with interest of the said 
sum to this day. Item and finally claimed to be paid and reimbursed 
a sum of three hundred florins principal and sixty-three florins and 
one sou interest and costs, paid by the said widow to Mr. Pierre Morin 
for her said children as appears by a receipt (subscribed Dupont) — 
all of which hereabove mentioned instruments, if need may be, are 
referred to. Of which claims, herebefore made and stated, duplicates 
have been put into the hands of the honorable brothers Isaac and 
Pierre Jacquet, sons of the said Elizabeth, who, after having received 
and examined them at length, notably the said Isaac [who handled and 
managed the patrimony of the said late Francoys Jacquet after the 
partition made between the said two brothers, of the one part, and 
Abraham Jacquet, another brother, of the other part, and by this 
means is better informed of the said fact than his said brother Pierre, 
and nobody else], furnished the following answers and reconventional 
claims : 

Firstly, concerning the marriage settlement of their said mother 
and the incease thereof, they do accept and acknowledge it. Item, 
as regards the above claimed five years of annuity, they do grant it; 
she rendering them on account of the share which she ought to pay 
for the above stated successions; the said brothers Jacquet also claim- 
ing the rent of certain rooms and bank of the estate of the said Fran- 
coys Jacquet, which the said widow, their mother, has occupied until 
now. Item, the said brothers declare their willingness to reimburse 
their said mother their share of the money which she has paid Mr. 
Gros. And with regard to the three hundred florins paid to Mr. 
Pierre Morin, the said Isaac replicates that there is no record of their 
receipt; the said brothers Jacquet also claiming that their said mother 
ought to render them account of the income of the possessions of 
these brothers Jacquet which they estimate to be worth five hundred 
crowns. Item, that she also ought to render them account of certain 
merchandise delivered to her as stated in her acknowledgment (sub- 
scribed Gallatin) amounting, as they say, to a sum of one thousand and 
thirty-eight florins; they also claiming restitution of certain furni- 
ture which she has in her possession, and further that she render them 
account of nine hundred and eighty florins, mentioned in a certain 
inventory in their possession, and by her received in cash. Item 
the said brothers, notably the said Isaac, claim that their said mother 
has to reimburse them the portion which they should bear in a sum of 
two thousand florins, principal as well as interest and costs made in 



JAQUETT FAMILY 39 

the prosecution and defence of a suit at law entered by the Messrs. 
Andrion against the said brothers Jacquet; and finally the said Isaac 
alleged to claim from his said mother many other sums and moneys in 
which he says his said mother is held unto him and which he will 
prove in proper time and place. 

Having heard all the foregoing the said widow says that she has 
accounted for the things herebefore alleged when an account was 
rendered to Abraham Jacquet, their other brother, and when his share 
of the estate of the said late Francoys Jacquet was given him. 

Which herebefore said parties, to wit, the said mother, of the one 
part, and the said above named brothers Jacquet, of the other part, 
desiring to avoid litigation and vexation the one with the other, have 
together agreed to hold themselves to that which summarily shall be 
taken cognizance of, adjudged, and decided by the hereinafter named 
relations and kinsmen of the said mother and sons, respectively, 
promising to observe and fulfill all that which shall be said and amica- 
bly propounded by them. 

Therefore it is that in the year one thousand five hundred and 
eighty-six, on the ninth day of March, before me the undersigned, 
notary public, in the presence of the hereinafter named witnesses, 
personally appeared the said honorable Elizabeth Philippin, mother 
of the said Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, of the one part, and the said 
Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, of the other part; which said parties — well 
knowing — have voluntarily and of their own accord, for themselves 
and their heirs and universal successors, each party as much as affects 
him and they may respectively be concerned and engaged in, sub- 
mitted to the amicable decision of Sir Pierre Jacquet, first cousin 
on father's side of the said Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, Egreges Guil- 
houme Collomb, Estienne Calleat and Claude Foex, their cousins by 
marriage, arbitrators respectively selected by the parties, who have 
straightened and amicably settled the hereinabove stated differences 
and agreed as follows : 

Firstly, that henceforth peace and friendship shall exist and be 
maintained between the said parties. 

Item, that for all claims made by and belonging to the said Eliza- 
beth against the estate of the said late Francoys Jacquet and for all 
the demands and sums she asks of the said Isaac and Pierre Jacquet, 
especially according to the articles made and heretofore mentioned on 
her part, these brothers Isaac and Pierre Jacquet shall be and remain 
debtors to their said mother, for the causes and reasons aforesaid, in a 
sum of two thousand five hundred florins, for once. 

Item, that during her natural life she shall have her habitation in 
the house of the said brothers Jacquet, situate on the upper river 
near the Mollard, and such in the rear of said house in two rooms on 
the first floor, now occupied by the said Isaac. Item, the said brothers 
shall be held to provide her with furniture for her use and keeping, 
of which she will take charge as per inventory, and to let her enjoy it 



40 JAQUETT FAMILY 

during lifetime as above said, and after her decease the said furni- 
ture shall entirely belong to the said brothers Jacquet. Item, that 
these brothers shall be held to pay every year to the said Elizabeth, 
their mother, during her natural life, as rent and interest of the said 
sum of two thousand and five hundred florins, or in the place of this 
rent every year a sum of one hundred and eighty florins, which they 
shall be held to pay in advance by halves from six to six months, 
the first payment to begin on the first day of April next coming, and 
so successively from six to six months as long as she lives; under bond 
of each and all of their possessions whatever they be, which they pledge 
themselves to hold. And for the greater and better security of the 
above payment the said brothers Jacquet shall be held, each of them 
respectively, to give sufficient guarantee to the said Philippin, their 
mother, for the abovesaid payment at the time fixed; and moreover 
on condition that when these brothers, or their sureties, shall well and 
duly pay the said rent to their mother at the time aforesaid, she shall 
not and cannot ask for, claim or recover the said capital sum of two 
thousand five hundred florins from the said brothers Jacquet, ex- 
cepting and reserving that if she deems fit, and in case of need, she 
can recover from the said brothers Jacquet, her children, a sum of 
fifteen hundred florins, proceeded as well of her marriage as goods 
coming to her from the bequest of her father, the late noble Jehan 
Philippin, of which to that amount only she can do and dispose ac- 
cording to her will and wish, all, nevertheless, as far as in law and not 
otherwise. And besides this in case the said brothers Jacquet or 
their sureties should fail to pay the said annuity and money rent 
thus established, in such case she can recover and collect from the 
said brothers Jacquet or levy upon their goods the said entire sum of 
two thousand five hundred florins. Item, the said widow shall be 
held to make cession, transfer and acknowledgment to the said 
brothers of what she will receive for the abovesaid causes as well of 
her marriage and increase as annuity hereabove stated and on her 
settled, concerning the fact and share of Abraham Jacquet, their 
other brother, in order to have recourse therefor on the goods of the 
said Abraham as will be expedient in law, and to collocate them in

and Isabel Elizabeth Philippin, was born in 1553, and 
baptized June 5, 1553, at Madeleine Church, Geneva, 
by the Rev. I. de Saint Andre, having been presented for 
baptism by Antoine Veruel. He is mentioned in his 
father's will and the partition proceedings as well as in 
several references already referred to. He was mar- 
ried Feb. 26, 1576, by the Rev. Perrot, at St. Peter's, 

Geneva, to Elizabeth, daughter of the late George Taravel, 
dit Fournier and Michee Maillet. According to Mr. 
Dufour-Vernes, the Taravel family originated at Viry, 
near Geneva, but they were not settled there prior to 
1535, the date of the Reformation, and, consequently, 



44 JAQUETT FAMILY 

the ancestry of the family could not be traced. The 
"Armorial Genevois," previously mentioned, page 99, 
says: 'Taravel dit Fournier. Received as Bourgeois 
June 23, 1542, from Viry, Genevois. Author, Jean 
Taravel, 1525. One of the family was a Member of the 
Council of Two Hundred in 1595." The one received as a 
bourgeois was Georges Taravel dit Fournier, father of 
Isaac Jaquet's wife. He may have been the son of the 
author referred to. Georges Taravel died probably in 
1568, as his will was written by notary Jacques Rouph 
Oct. 22, 1568, as appears in the next reference.

Marriage between Honorable Isaac, son of the late Honorable 
Francois Jacquet and Elizabeth Taravel. 

In the name of God, Amen. Be it known to every one that 
there are promises of marriage, published and announced in the 
church of the Lord in this city of Geneva, and to be there celebrated, 
and, subsequently, after observation of the solemnities, consummated, 
between the Honorable Isaac, son of the late Honorable Francois 
Jacquet, a citizen of said Geneva, and Elizabeth, daughter of the 
late Honorable George Taravel dit Fornier, in his life time a citizen 
of said Geneva. And in as much as on the part of wives, dowries 
are voluntarily and customarily brought and their possession put in 
the hands and under the power of the husband, so as to support 
more easily the usual charges; In consideration thereof, and trusting 
that the said promises will come into effect, according to the perfect 
intention and determination of the parties, So it is that on this day, 
the thirteenth of the month of February one thousand five hundred 
and seventy six, before me the undersigned, Pierre de la Rue, sworn 
notary, citizen of Geneva, and the hereinafter named witnesses, per- 
sonally appeared Dame Mich£e Maillet, widow of the said late Tara- 
vel, mother of the said maiden, who, in accordance with the testa- 
mentary provisions of her said late husband, contained in his last 
will received before Mr. Jacques Rouph, notary, on the twenty-second 
of the month of October one thousand five hundred and sixty eight, 
did and does settle for the dower and marriage of the said Elizabeth 
and for her and in her name unto the said Jacquet, her future hus- 
band, both here present and unitedly covenanting for themselves 
and for the heirs and successors of the said Elizabeth, whosoever 
they may be, to wit, a sum of one thousand and fifty florins, small 
weight, which sum the said mother was to take out and to retain 
from the estate of her said late husband when the same was par- 



JAQUETT FAMILY 45 

titioned between his male children and heirs, in order to preserve it 
for her said daughter. Item, further she settles on her as above as 
a dowry a sum of eighty florins proceeded from the estate of Marie, 
a sister of the said Elizabeth, who died intestate, and being the share 
coming to her, according to an agreement on this subject between all 
the children of the said late Taravel. And moreover the said mother 
gives privately to her said daughter a wedding dress and petticoat. 
Which said sums of money amounting to eleven hundred and thirty 
(sic) florins, the said Jacquet acknowledges to have had and received 
to his satisfaction from the said Mailliet, his future mother-in-law, 
for which he acquits and discharges her as well as also the heirs of the 
said Taravel, promising never to make any demand therefor here- 
after; and, as regards the said wedding garments, the said mother 
promises to deliver them and adorn her said daughter therewith on 
the day of her wedding. And should the case of restoration, as pro- 
vided for by the edicts and customs of this city, occur, the said Jacquet, 
or in his default his heirs, shall be bound to give back and restore to 
the said Elizabeth or hers the said sum of eleven hundred and thirty 
florins at any time that the said restoration must be made, and besides 
pay accretion and augmentation, according to the edicts of this said 
city, should the said Jacquet die prior to the said Elizabeth; in which 
case he did and now does for then make to her a pure and irrevocable 
donation of that which he may have acquired in first marriage, to- 
gether with all garments and wife's jewels which shall have been made 
and destined for her and her use, to be disposed thereof by her in 
accordance with the said edicts. And to assure the said restoration 
and the payment of said augmentation, if it should become due, the 
said Jacquet did and does pledge and mortgage, in favor of his said 
future wife and hers, each and all of his present and future real and 
personal estate, and each part and parcel thereof. Accepting, never- 
theless, by this present instrument each and all mutual and reciprocal 
promises made between the said appearer and the said Jacquet for the 
mutual observation and consummation thereof,, under and with oaths 
taken by them on the Holy Scriptures and administered by me the 
said notary, pledge and mortgage of all their goods, submission to all 
courts where they may be summoned to comply respectively with the 
foregoing in case of default, renouncing all means to the contrary, even 
the right stating that a general renunciation is not valid unless pre- 
ceded by a special one. 

Done and pronounced at Geneva, in the house of the said Jacquet 
and his brothers and the dwelling occupied by the honorables Claude 
Lavonay and Jacques Malbuysson, situate on the Upper River, in the 
presence of the said Lavonay, the said Malbuysson brother-in-law of 
the bride, citizens of Geneva, the honorable Francois Revilliod, 
citizen, also brother-in-law of the said Elizabeth, Pierre Jacquet,

Acquittance, cession and remittal made by Elizabeth Taravel in 
favor of her brothers. 

In the name of God, Amen. Be it known to every one that in the 
year one thousand five hundred and seventy-six, and the thirteenth 
day of the month of February, before me Pierre de la Rue, notary and 
citizen of Geneva, undersigned, and the hereinafter named witnesses, 
personally appeared the honest maiden Elizabeth, daughter of the 
late Honorable George Taravel, diet Former, in his life time a citizen 
of said Geneva, promised wife of the Honorable Isaac Jaquet, citizen of 
said Geneva, acting with authority and consent of the said Jacquet, 
her future husband, present and authorizing her, who, for herself and 
hers, voluntarily and of her free will, cedes, gives up, relinquishes and 
remits purely and irrevocably to the Honorable Pierre, Jean Paul, 
and Jehan Taravel, her brothers, absent, dame Mich^e Mailliet, their 
and the said Elizabeth's mother covenanting and accepting for them, 
and also acting as guardian for the said Jehan, to wit, 

All rights, titles, actions, loans, legitimate portions and supple- 
mentary legitimate portions with all other successions which may 
come, belong or hereafter fall to her, and generally all that which at 
present or in future she could claim and consider to be due her, in 
whatsoever manner it may be, in and of her fatherly, motherly and 
brotherly possessions and rights, without either reserving anything 
thereof for or by any means expecting to succeed to them unless in 
default of other legitimate successors which has come or may come to 
her, together with all rights and sisterly successions being, with the 
consent of her said mother, expressly reserved by her. And in con- 
sequence, excepting the abovesaid successions, she did and does 
entirely renounce, and did and does demise them from this time for- 
ward with solemn divestiture, allowing her said brothers and theirs to 
enjoy them and dispose of them at pleasure, without her being able 
(as she is not willing) to prevent it in any way; the said true right of 
collateral succession to her said sisters being reserved by her, as 
hereinbefore said. And all this she does because being to that end 
sufficiently remunerated by means of the dowral settlement of one 
thousand and fifty florins made by her said mother in her favor to the 
said Jaquet, her future husband, who has made acknowledgment 
thereof by their articles of marriage this day received before me notary, 
and also of another sum of eighty florins, being her share of the suc- 
cession of her sister Marie, besides that her said mother has given her a 
wedding dress and petticoat; — and the said Elizabeth, well satisfied 
with the dowry settled on her and the payment thereof to her future 
husband, releases and discharges her said mother as well as her 
brothers, covenanting never hereafter to lay claim thereto or to the 
said rights in any manner whatsoever. Promising with authority of

tion of all benefits, rights, laws, exceptions and all contrary means 
whatsoever even of the rule stating that a general renunciation is not

in 1623 purchased a burial vault in that Churchyard, 
which is mentioned in "Giigel. A Memorial of the 
Norish Christian Churchyard. 1682. 4to," p. 201: "St. 
John's Churchyard. No. 1569. Hans Jackett his and 
his children's interment. God have mercy on all of 
them. Year 1623." This is also mentioned in "John 
Martin Trechsel. A renewed memorial of St. John's 
Cemetery in Niirnberg, 1736, 4to," p. 124: "The 12th 
(tombstone) No. 1569, is covered with a fine coat of 
arms in a beautiful laurel wreath. The shield is divided, 
alternately colored, with a fighting hawk turned to the 
right on a hillock in the upper half. Over the shield 
is an open helmet upon which is a broad bearded man 
issuant, turned to the right, in a tightly buttoned dress, 
the left hand resting on the belt around his hip, and the 
right hand with uplifted arm holding a sword to fight. 
Around the wreath one reads, Hans Jacket, his and his 
children's interment, 1623." (Dr. Heerwagen says that 
the epitaph no longer exists.) As the translation may 
not be entirely accurate, the original is also quoted :

In the foregoing description the words " fighting hawk " 
are incorrect as the bird was a dove, as will hereafter 
appear. The omission of the color will also be supplied, 
as also additional details. The portrait of Hans Jaquet, 
reproduced in this work, was photographed from the 
engraving in "C. W. Panzer. A list of Niirnburg Por- 
traits of all ranks and conditions. Niirnburg, 1790, 4 to," 
p. 114. It will be observed that it was engraved by 
F. F. Leonard, in 1668. The arms have been misrep- 
resented. The dove should be turned towards the right 
instead of the left of the shield, the color of the upper 
field should be indicated as blue and the lower as gold ; 




a crest cornet has been omitted, the sword should be 
held by the right instead of the left hand, the colors 
of the coat should be indicated as blue and gold quar- 
terly, the belt should be shown and also the beard. 
However, it is quite likely that the drawing was made 
from a seal, in which the engraving is always the op- 
posite of the impression, and in which, possibly, the 
colors were also omitted or unnoticed. It is assumed 
the same portrait is referred to in "John. Ferd. Roth. 
History of Niirnburg Trade, An Essay. Leipsic, 1801," 
Vol. II, p. 61: "Jacket, Hanns, b. 1579. D. 1647. S. 
Panzer. Portrait."

The arms appear in "Das grosse und Vollstandige, 
anfangs Siebmacherische, hernacher Fiirstische und 
Helmerische, nun aber Weigelische Wappen-Buch. 
In sechs Theilen, etc. Niirnburg, verlegts Christoph 
Weigels des altern seel. Wittwe. Gedruckt bey Lorentz 
Bieling, 1734." The plates in the section containing 
the Jaquet arms are said to have been engraved in 1657. 
The illustration is reproduced slightly larger than the 
original. 

As the illustration in the original is rather small it is 
difficult to tell whether the beard is indicated, although 
it does not appear to be. However, it should, as all de- 
scriptions mention it. The "bonnet" is also not entirely 
correctly drawn, which is due, no doubt, to lack of 
detail accuracy in a general compilation, and, possibly 
the fancy of the artist.

It will be observed that this description is incorrect 
and incomplete. 

The description given in Rietstap is as follows: 

"Jacquet. Nuremberg. Coupe: au 1 d'azur a un

It will be observed that Jean Jaquet ignored the arms 
borne by his ancestors at Geneva and, apparently, used 
only those received by him at Nuremberg.

they also give a deed therefore which had been entered 
in Court record No. 134, Feb. 13, 1622, according to 
which the premises were purchased of the Committee of 
the Forest Court, together with a letter of attorney

he was b. in 1614; this latter date, however, is incorrect, 
as appears by consideration of the dates of the baptism of 
the last child of his father by the second wife and the 
first baptism after his third marriage. The portrait herein 
reproduced was photographed from the engraving in 
" C. W. Panzer. A List of Niirnberg Portraits of all ranks 
and conditions. Niirnberg, 1790. 4to." It will be ob-

served, however, that the plate was engraved by F. F. 
Leonart, who probably engraved it either during Rev. 
Isaac Jaquet's life or shortly after his death, as he also 
engraved Isaac's father, Jean or Hans Jaquet, in 1668. 

" Andr. Wurfel, Diptycka Heil Geist," p. 43 (in poss. of 
Germanic Museum at Nuremberg) : 

" Mr. Isaac Jaquet entered upon life at Nurnberg in 
1614 (1616?). His father, a respectable merchant, was 
Hanns Jaquet, and his mother Magdalena nee Wernlin. 
His grandfather, Isaac Jaquet, was a citizen and Coun- 
cillor of Geneva, and of the Reformed religion. The 
grandmother, Elisabetha nee Darabellin (Taravel, dit 
Fournier), after her husband's death, sent her son Johann 
Jaquet, ten years old, to his father's brother Pierre 
Jaquet, a citizen and merchant in Nurnberg, in order 
to learn the merchant's business. By listening to ser- 
mons he was led to the Evangelical Lutheran religion, 
notwithstanding he had to forsake his country and his 
property in the same. Our preacher, after laying the 
foundations, applied himself under Grafen's guidance 
at the Gymnasio Egyddano to the studio humanioribus . 
He continued the same in Altdorf and devoted himself 
especially to theology. In February, 1637, ne defended 
under Bruno the genuine Disputation ad Lib. II. Cicero de 
officio utili. Having became a Magister, he disputed 
in the year 1649, praeside Ge. Koenigio, de origine et 
termino Sabbathi; and equally under Weinmann, I Joh. 
1, 7. He further discussed in the same year the first 
of Hakopanii Exertationibus. He also visited Leipsic 
and Jena. On the 9th of June of the said year, when 
a Candida tus, he married Miss Susanna (Sabina) , daugh- 
ter of Gabriel Moser. In 1642 he received the Diaconate 
of the New Hospital, and was ordained in Altdorf on 
Wednesday, the 3rd of August, and on the 15th of No- 
vember he rendered Suscriptionum Normalium. As he in 
the meantime, after Welhammer's death, with other 
Deaconis, took charge alternately of the preaching on 
Sundays and Thursdays, he was, on account of his elo- 
quence, given charge of the preachership in 165 1. He

JAQUETT FAMILY 59 

departed this life on the 16th of May, 1652, and was 
buried on the 24th. His widow followed him July 11, 
1654. A daughter, Susanna Maria, died August 10, 1659. 
Wolf Achatias died in his 35th year while a Chaplain in 
the Derningish Regiment of Cavalry in 1680. Maria 
Magdalena was married April 27, 1676, to Christoph 
Nuszberger, an able gold and silver wire-drawer. 

"After Mr. Jaquet's death, Messrs. Tobias Ruggrecht 
and Georg Christoph Miiller provided alternately for 
the preaching, and the latter finally became rector." 

" Nurnbergisches Gelelsrten-Lexicon von G. A. Will., 
1755," vol. II, page 229 : 

"Jaquet (Isaac), a theologian, was born at Nurnberg 
in the year 161 6. His father's name was Johann, and is 
undoubtedly the one mentioned in Trechsel's "Joh. 
Kirchhof," p. 124. He first went to Altdorf about the 
close of 1635, and there held under Jos. Bruno in Feb- 
ruary, 1637, the genuine Disp. ad L. 2 Cic. de officio 
Utili, which he dedicated to his father and his brothers-in- 
law Joh. G. Ludwig and Dav. Hirschvogel. Thereafter 
he went to Leipsic and Jena, in order to further study 
philosophy, and probably became a Magister in the latter 
city. Being a Magister he came again to Altdorf, devoted 
himself now to theology, and there held in the first place 
in 1640, under Dr. Weinmann, a disputation on parten 
I diff. quadragesimalis de aphorism. Apostol. 1 Joh. 7 
Languis J. C. filii Dei emendat nos. etc.; later, in 1641, 
under Dr. Koenig, one de origine et termino Sabbathi, 
which disputations he perhaps wrote himself, as at that 
time he may have been at Nurnberg, and may only have 
travelled to Altdorf in order to dispute again. These 
disputations were printed in Nurnberg, although at 
that time there was already a printing house at Altdorf. 
In the aforesaid year 1641, on the 9th of June, being 
then a candidate to the ministry, he was married at 
Nurnberg to Miss Susanna (Sabina), a daughter of Gabr. 
Moser. In 1642 he became a Diaconus in the New Hos- 
pital of the Holy Ghost, and in 1646, on the death of 
Mr. Cyp. Welhammer, after having with other Diaconis 



60 JAQUETT FAMILY 

temporarily provided for the preaching, he succeeded 
him as preacher and rector in the said church. He 
faithfully filled this office, but not longer than 1652, when 
he departed this life on the 16th of May. 

"Schwendel, in Bibliothecha exegetico-biblioa, cites of 
him the two following manuscripts which were in the 
library of the Hospital in Nurnberg: 30 sermons on 
Jonas 2 to the end, held in 1643 an( i '44 ; 12 sermons on 
Acts 17, 30, held in 1645." 

The library, almost exclusively theological, of the Rev. 
Isaac Jaquet, is mentioned in "Murr, Beschreibung der 
vornehmsten Merkwurdigkeiten der Reichsstadt Nurn- 
berg, 2 Aug., 1801, S. 433. Das Buch z. B. in der 
Bibliothek des German. Nationalmuseums unter der 
Signatur G 791 1. 8°, dann in der Stadtbibliothek 
Nurnberg u. sonst." 

Dr. Heerwagen stated that the library of the Holy 
Ghost Hospital has became merged with the City Library 
and that the Jaquet collection of books is separately 
catalogued and indexed under the title of " Bibliotheca, 
dess Spital-Ampts zum Heiligen Geist, Jaccuetische 
Bibliothec, 1653."

In this illustration the 
shield is accurately drawn, 
but the buttons of the coat 
and the belt have been 
improperly omitted. The 
beard has been represented 
pointed instead of full, as 
it is described on the tomb 
of Jean or Hans Jaquet in 
1623. The rim of the hat 
also slightly differs from the 
earlier illustrations. The 
crest coronet has also been 
omitted. The mantling is 
correct. The inaccuracy in the details, it will be ob- 
served, seems to occur in all general heraldric com- 
pilations. 

Rietstap describes the arms as: 

"Jaquet von und zu Bucheureuth, Bav. (An., 20 mai, 
1767.). Coup6: au 1 d'azur a une colombe esc. d'arg., 
posee sur un tertre de sin. ; au 2 d'or plein. C. : un 
homme barbu, iss., portant moustaches, hab. d'un 
parti d'or et d'azur, au rabat d'arg., coiffe" d'un bonnet 
pointu d'azur, retr. d'or, tenant de sa main dextre 
itendu un sabre en pal. L. d'or et d'azur." 

The word "parti" is incorrect, as £cartele" is the 
correct term. The former was probably used in con- 
sequence of the illustration showing only the body to 
the waist. 

Possibly the discrepancies in the illustrations and 
descriptions may have been made intentionally by the 
various members of the family, but it is much more 
likely that they are due to want of regard for details 
by the various artists employed by the publishers of 
the works referred to. It will be observed that in none 
of the illustrations has an actual seal of any of the 
family been reproduced. The only description of the 



JAQUETT FAMILY 67 

arms upon anything owned by the family was that of 
the burial vault of Hans Jaquet, designed in 1623, when 
it is most probable that care was taken to have the 
arms correctly portrayed. It is unfortunate that a 
photograph of these could not be made, on account of 
their removal from the vault, but the description for- 
tunately preserved must be the authority for deter- 
mination of the details. 

V. 292. Jacob Jaquet, son of Hans Jaquet (276) 

and Apollonia , was born probably a few days 

prior to his baptism, April 28, 1645 (St. Sebald's Rec- 
ords, p. 636).

He was a cloth merchant and draper like his father. 

St. Sebald's Records, p. 430: 

"Married October 24, 1769, in the Schiess — Graben

George Magnus Jaquet's coat of arms appears in a 
work entitled " Nurnbergische Tuchhaendlere," the page 
containing them being dated 1785 — They are reproduced. 

It will be observed that we again meet with inaccu- 
racies. The demasse is omitted in lower field of shield, 
the tertre lacks the three tops or mounts, the crest coronet 
is omitted, the ecartele of the coat is wanting, the white 
collar is omitted and the beard insufficiently indicated.

Evangelical persuasion, residing at S. No. 813, Niirnberg, 
son of Georg Magnus Jaquet, merchant, and Sophia Char- 
lotte, nee Hafner. He was born in Niirnberg 1779." The 
bride's name is omitted. His wife's name is mentioned in 
same records, 1779-1810, p. 460: "Baptized Aug. 28, 1804,

'' III. 263. Pierre Jaquet, son of Francois Jaquet (3) 
and Isabel Elizabeth Philippin, was born at Geneva, and 
baptized at Madeleine Church, Nov. 30, 1557, by the Rev. 
I. Macar, his godfather being Pierre Vassati. (Records 
of church.) He is mentioned in his father's will. Rec- 
ords of the Council of Geneva for General Affairs: 
"Dec. 26, 1581, Pierre, a son of the late Francois Ja- 
quet and a citizen, had a petition presented tending 
to grant him a certificate of his origin and parentage, 
which was granted." This was probably requested on 
account of his contemplated removal to Nuremberg. 
In 1 591 he placed an epitaph upon his burial vault 
at St. Rochus Church, referred to in Katalog der im 
germanischen Museum befindlichen Bronceepitaphien des 
15-18. Jhds. 189 1, 8°, p. 36: A decorative plate with 
the words " Petter Jackett and Magdaleina his wife

P. and J. Height 30 cm., width 33 cm. St. Rochus. 
Giigel, p. 58 (Gd. 128.)." This refers to "Giigel 
— A Memorial of the Norish Christian Churchyard — 
1682, 4to. P. 58. This bronze epitaph is in posses- 
sion of the Germanic Museum, from which the re- 
production herein inserted was photographed. The 
orthography in the descriptions is somewhat at vari- 
ance with the original — " Wappenschild " merely re- 
ferred to the shield upon which the free mark was 
placed. Pierre Jaquet, apparently, preferred to place 
his free mark upon his tomb rather than his paternal 
arms of the Jaquets of Geneva. A free mark gave a 
merchant many privileges and many of the graves of 
merchants in the various cemeteries of Nuremberg have 
the free mark appearing in the epitaph instead of the 
original family arms, although the right of the deceased 
to hereditary arms was unquestioned. In some instances, 
however, these free marks were used by succeeding 
generations as a family escutcheon. These free marks 
exempted goods from certain duties. 

Pierre Jaquet was married twice, and, although the 
surnames of his wives could not be found, yet the 
Christian name of each was Magdalena. Death Records, 
Royal District Archives: Dec. 22, 1595, died Dame Mag- 
dalena, wife of the honorable Peter Jacket. On the new 
pau (pew?) behind the Bitterholde". This latter part 
refers to the place of her burial; however, it was in her 
husband's vault, previously referred to, at St. Rochus' 
Churchyard. A recently published work of Dr. Th. 
Hampe, "Reports of Niirnberg Councils on Art and 
Artists," vol. II, 1571—1618 (1633), Vienna, Karl 
Graeser & Co., and Leipsic, B. G. Teubner, 1904, No. 
2272, p. 400, says: "Peter Jacquet's and Henrich Ter- 
venal's petition and citation to Barbara, widow of 
Johann de Troya, now wife of Hanns Bauern, at Trident, 
a daughter of the late artist Niclas Tuvenal, gives in 
1 consideration to Mr. D. Tetzer to investigate in the first 
place in the Chamber of Records whether this Barbara 
is still to be recognized as a citizen. " Records of Death,

Although in the former edition it is stated that he came 
of a Huguenot family which had been settled in various 
parts of France and Switzerland, and, consequently, that 
he was of French- Swiss origin, yet he was not born at 
Neufchatel, as suggested, but was born at Nuremberg, 
Bavaria, which fact was lately ascertained. "Letters 
Relating to 'the Settlement of Germantown in Pennsyl- 
vania (1683-4). From the Konneken Manuscript in the 
Ministerial Archives of Lubeck. Reproduced in Fac- 
simile Under the Direction of Julius Friedrick Sachse, 
Litt. D. Lubeck and Philadelphia: 1903." Page 7, 
contains a translation of " Positive news from America, 
about the Province of Pennsylvania, from a German 
who has journeyed hither, de dato, Philadelphia, March 
7, 1684." The only part of this letter of import- 
ance to quote here is that on page 17: "About these 
newly engrafted foreigners, I will make no further men- 
tion now, than that among them sundry High Germans 
are found, who have already been settled in this country 
for twenty years, and thus have, as it were, naturalized 
themselves, namely, Siberians, Brandenburgers, Hol- 
steiners, Switzers, &c. Also a Niirenberger by the name 
of 'Jan Jaquet.' This letter is signed 'Francis Daniel 
Pastorius.' This same letter was printed in 'The settle- 
ment of Germantown, Pennsylvania, and the beginning 
of German Emigration to North America,' by Hon. Samuel 
Whitaker Pennypacker, LL.D., Philadelphia, 1899," 
page 81. 

It was the discovery of this letter that suggested the 
searches made at Nuremberg and Geneva. 

Jean Paul Jaquet's wife was Maria de Carpentier, as 
appears by reference to the baptismal record of their 
son Paul. He was baptized July 18, 1655, at the Dutch 
Reformed Church, New York City. The records of 
this church are published in the New York Genealogical 
and Biographical Record, the baptism referred to appear- 
ing in volume V at page 154: 

July 18, 1655. Ouders: Jan Pauluszen Jaket, Maria Carpentier. 

Kinders: Paulus. Getuygen: Jan de Jong, Maria Hendricks. 



JAQUETT FAMILY 75 

The word Pauluszen indicates the .name of Jean Paul's 
father, according to the custom of the Dutch records 
of that period, and the denomination of the church sug- 
gests the country from whence they came. The de has 
been omitted before Carpentier. 

In the former genealogy published by the writer in 
1896, the following references were printed on page 6: 

"Doc. His. of N. Y.," Vol. Ill, p. 70: 

"The Commandant at Fort Casimer named Jan Paulussen Jacquet, 
brother in-law of De* Casparo Carpentier." 

"Collections of the Hugenot Soc. of America," Vol. 
I, p. 15 (XVI): 

' ' The special relations with the French of Rector Casper Carpentier 
are not known. He died at New Castle in 1684. He was a brother- 
in-law of Commandant Jacquet, and may have arrived here during 
the pastorate of Mr. Bogardus. As he did not leave for New Castle 
until 1657, it is possible that he preached in the meantime to his 
countrymen settled in and about New Amsterdam." 

" Carpentier's name mentioned at page 18." 

As the references quoted were the only allusions found 
at that time relating to Carpentier, the quotations from 
the Collections of the Huguenot Society were inserted 
with the belief that they were accurate, but subsequent 
investigation has established the contrary. 

The writer of the quotations was the Rev. Alfred V. 
Wittmeyer who, in 1886, published Registers of the Births, 
Marriages and Deaths of the " Eglise Francaise a la Nou- 
■velle York," which was printed in volume I of ''Collec- 
tions of the Huguenot Society of America," previously men- 
tioned. 

He also said, at page xviii : 

"Two of the French inhabitants of Harlem, Demarest and Le- 
Maistre, had for two or three years ceased to contribute to the support 
of the local Dutch 'voorleser,' who combined the functions of a school- 
master with those of a reader and presentor. After repeated cita- 
tions to appear, Le Maistre finally appeared before the Town Court 
on April 5th, 1677, to answer for his refusal to pay, and this is the 

* De Signifies Domine.

plea he entered: They of the French Congregation, in the time of 
Governor Francis Lovelace, having received a preacher, the aforesaid 
Governor had said that ' the French of the Town of New Harlem 
should be free as to contributing to the Dutch voorleser.' . . . 
The Court did not admit Le Maistre's plea, but the existence of an 
independent French church at the time spoken of is none the 
less proved by it. But who was the 'preacher' referred to? Evi- 
dently not Mr. Drisius, for he did not come here during Lovelace's 
Governorship; besides, the language of the plea favors the idea that 
the minister was himself a Frenchman. If his name has been handed 
down, the choice would seem to lie between the Rev. Mr. Carpen- 
tier, who might have returned for a time from New Castle, and the 
Rev. Ezechiel Carre, who was minister of the French church of 
Narragansett, R. I., in 1687. . . . But whatever the name of 
the pastor may have been, the church itself must have ceased to 
exist in 1678. At that date David Demarest and others were dis- 
missed from the French church at Bergen, N. J., but a year later 
the Labadist's, visiting New York, make no mention of a French 
church there, and some of the settlers on Staten Island told them 
that they then had 'neither church nor minister.'" 

It will be observed that the foregoing is merely con- 
jectural. It is assumed there was a Rev. Casparus 
Carpentier at New Castle, and that he might have preached 
at New Harlem or elsewhere, but no authority is cited. 
The Rev. Wittmeyer's statements were made in 1886 
and, it is presumed, were made upon the authority of 
A Manual of the Reformed Church in America (formerly 
Reformed Prot. Dutch Church) 1628-1878, by Edward 
Tanjore Corwin, D.D., Pastor at Millstone, N. J. Third 
Edition, 1879," on page 657 of which is given a "Chron- 
ological List of Ministers in the Reformed Church in 
America," in which is given "Casp. Carpentier, 1657." 
On page 207 the following appears: 

"Caspar Carpentier, mentioned in 1657 in a letter of Megapolensis 
and Drisius to CI. Amsterdam. He was a brother-in-law of Jean 
Paul Jacques, Commandant at Fort Casimir, Delaware. He died 
in 1684. SeeAmst. Cor., Letters 89 (Aug. 5, 1657), 247 (Oct. 10, 1688). 
This letter is quoted in Murphy's Anthology, 108. Doc. His. N. Y., 
Ill, 69-72. Spottswood's His. Ser. New Castle, 1859. Dr. Spotts- 
wood says: ' In 1684, there died in this town a French clergyman, 
concerning whom we can learn nothing. It is presumed that he was 
one of the exiled Huguenots.' " 



JAQUETT FAMILY 77 

By reading the foregoing, which was published in 1879 
it is quite easy to see the authority for Rev. Wittmeyer's 
statements published in 1886. 

The citations referred to by Dr. Corwin will show, 
that although Carpentier is mentioned in the letter of 
1657, as the brother-in-law of Jaquet, yet it will be posi- 
tively established that Carpentier was never in this coun- 
try, that he did not die in 1684 and that he was not the 
French clergyman mentioned by Dr. Spottswood. 

Documentary History of the State of New York. By 
E. B. O'Callaghan, M.D. Albany, 1850, Vol. III. pp. 69-72: 

State of the Churches in New Netherland ; Anno 1657. 

Reverend, Pious, Learned Sirs, Fathers & Brothers iu Ch'ro Jesu: 

Your Reverences' letters, the one of the 13th June 1656 and the 
other of the 15th Feby. of this year, reached us in safety, and we 
have seen thereby with special gratification, the fatherly affection 
and care which your Rev: evince for the prosperity of this early 
growing Congregation. We have equally perceived therefrom the 
trouble taken by your Rev. & by the Hon ble Lords Majores to pre- 
vent the injuries which threaten this cummunity by the encroach- 
ments of the heretical spirits; and likewise your Rev. desire to be 
made acquainted with the Condition of the Churches in this Country: 

In the harvest of the year 1656 we answered and wrote to you more 
fully on this subject, but having received no acknowledgement of 
that letter we doubt if it reached your hands, wherefore this will 
serve the same purpose. 

Last year the Lutherans gave out here that they had the consent 
of the Lords Majors or Directors to call a Lutheran Parson from 
Holland. They therefore petitioned the Hon bIe Director and Council 
for permission to hold in the meantime their conventicles thus to 
prepare the way for their expected and coming minister. Though 
they began to urge on so stoutly we, nevertheless, (being animated 
and cheered by your letter,) hoped for the best though dreading 
the worst which even now has arrived: For though we could not 
anticipate that the Noble Lords Majors could have given any con- 
sent, yet it notwithstanding came to pass that a Lutheran Preacher 
named Joannes Ernestus Goetwater, arrived in the Ship the Mill, 
to the great joy of the Lutherans and especial discontent and dis- 
appointment of the congregation of this place; yea of the whole 
land even of the English. We, therefc.e, went to the Hon ble Di- 
rector General & the Burgomasters & Schepens of this city and pre- 
sented the accompanying petition. Whereupon it followed that they 
cited the Lutheran Parson before their Honors; demanned of him 



78 JAQUETT FAMILY 

with what intention he was come here, and what he had as a com- 
mission and credentials. He answered, that he had come to be 
Lutheran Preacher here, but he had no other commission than a 
letter from the Lutheran consistory at Amsterdam to the Lutheran 
congregation here. Whereupon he was informed by the Hon ble 
Authorities here that he should abstain from all Church service or 
from holding any meeting, and not to deliver the letter from the 
Lutherans at Amsterdam which he had brought with him, without 
further order; regulating himself in the meantime according to the 
Placards of this Province enacted against private conventicles, which 
he promised to do; but he was expecting further order and com- 
mission by the first ships. In the meanwhile, we already have the 
snake in our bosom. We would have been glad that the Lords Regent 
had opened the letter of the Lutheran consistory in order to ascer- 
tain from it the secret of the mission. But they have as yet been 
unwilling to do this. We demanded also that the Noble Lords Regent 
should send the Lutheran Minister back in the same ship in which 
he arrived inasmuch as he came hither without the consent of the 
Noble Director, in order to put a stop to their work which they seem 
to intend to push forward with a hard Lutheran fate in despite and 
opposition of the Regents; for we suspect that he came to see if he 
will be permitted and suffered here, and to found other progress 
thereupon. But we know not what we shall accomplish herein. 

Last year Domine Gideon Schaats wrote to your Reverences con- 
cerning the congregation in Renselaers and Bever Wyck, as he also 
shall again do. The condition of the congregation there is most 
favorable.it grows stronger apace so as to be almost as strong as are we 
here at Manhatan. They built last year a handsome preaching house. 

On the South River it has been hitherto very poorly, as regards 
Religion and the Church, ist. Because we had there but one little 
fort, and therein but one commissary with 10 or 12 men in the com- 
panys service, merely for the purpose of carry on some trade with the 
Indians. 2nd. In the year 1657 the fort, called Nassouw was aban- 
doned and razed, and another named Casimir erected somewhat 
lower and more toward the sea, and somewhat better garrisoned, 
and strengthened by divers freemen who commenced a village. 

But the Swedes increasing in numbers troubled & oppressed our 
people daily, and after they had taken Fort Casimir from us, they 
harrassed & vexed our nation so sorely that the South river was at 
once abandoned. But our people retook that Fort Casimir again 
in the year 1655. It was provided with a right strong garrison of 
our people and contained divers free people there with dwellings. So 
one was appointed who should read every Sunday something out of 
the Apostles, which has yet been continued, and the Lutheran Minister 
who was here was sent to Sweden. 

Two miles from Fort Casimir up the river, stands another fort, 
named Christina which was also taken at the same time by our People, 
& the Preacher, together with the Swedish garrison, was sent away. 






JAQUETT FAMILY 79 

But as many Swedes and Finns to the number at least of 200 were 
dwelling two or three miles up the river above Fort Christina, the 
Swedish governor insisted on the Capitulation that one Lutheran 
minister should be retained to instruct the people in their own tongue. 
This their request was too easily granted. 1st. because trouble had 
broken out at Manhatan with the Indians, and men required quick 
dispatch, and to hasten back to the Manhattans to repair matters 
there. 2nd. Because we had no reformed Preacher to establish there 
or who understood their language. 

Now this Lutheran Parson is a man of a godless and scandalous 
life, a rolling rollicking unseemly sort, who is more inclined to look 
into the wine-can than to pore over the Bible, and would rather 
drink a kan of brandy for two hours than preach one, and when the 
sap is in the wood then his hands itch and he becomes excessively 
inclined to fight whomsoever he meets. The commandant at fort 
Casimir, named Jan Paulussen Jacquet, brother-in-law of D e Casparo 
Carpentier, told us that happened in the spring that this Parson 
was tippling with a smith and being full of brandy they came to 
fisticuffs and beat each other's heads black and blue; yea, that the 
smith tore all the clothes from the Domine's back so that the good 
Domine had to withdraw privately and suddenly and become some- 
what recovered before any of his flock had sought explanation the 
one from the other, Sed hoc parergiccos. 

On Long Island are 7 Villages belonging to our province of which 
3 namely Brenckelen, Midwout and Amerfort are settled by Dutch 
who heretofore used to hold communion with us and came with 
great difficulty to preaching here. It was some three hours work for 
some of them ere they could come here. Wherefore when D e Pol- 
hemus arrived here from Brasils, they requested that he might be 
appointed their preacher which was granted by the Hon ble Director 
General & Council. 

The four other villages on Long Island viz : Gravesend Middelburgh 
Vlissingen & Heemstede were established by the English: Those of 
Gravesend are reported Mennonists; yea, they, for the most part, 
reject Infant Baptism, the Sabbath, the office of Preacher, and the 
Teachers of God's word, saying that through these have come all sorts 
of contention into the world. Whenever they meet together the one 
or the other reads something for them. At Flushing they heretofore 
had a Presbyterian Preacher who conformed to our church, but many 
of them became imbued with divers opinions and it was with them 
quot homines tot sententia. They absented themselves from preaching, 
nor would they pay the Preacher his promised stipend. The said 
preacher was obliged to leave the place and to report to the English 
Virginias. Now they have been some years without a minister. Last 
year a fomenter of error came there. He was a cobbler from Rhode 
Island in New England & stated that he was commissioned by Christ. 
He began to preach at Flushing and then went with the people into 



80 JAQUETT FAMILY 

the river and dipped them. This becoming known here, the Fiscaal 
proceeded thither and brought him along. He was banished the 
province. 

At Middleburgh, called alias, Newtown they are mostly Independ- 
ants, and have a man of the same persuasion there named Johannes 
Moor, who preaches there well, but administers no sacraments, because 
(as he says) he was permitted in New England to preach but not 
authorized to administer sacraments, and he has thus continued now 
for many years. In the village are also many other Inhabitants, 
presbyterians, but they are not able to maintain a Presbyterian 
Preacher, whilst we know not that any of this sect are to be found 
among the English in N Eng ld , among whom there are preachers. 
At Heemstede, about 7 Dutch miles from here there are some 
Independents; also many of our persuasion and Presbyterians. 
They have also a Presbyterian Preacher named Richard Denton, an 
honest, pious and learned man. He hath in all thing's conformed to 
our Church. The Independants of the place listen attentively to his 
preaching, but when he began to baptise the children of such parents 
as are not members of the church, they sometime's burst out of the 
Church. 

On the West side of the East river about one mile through Hell gate 
(as we call it) opposite Flushing on the main another English village 
has been begun over two years. It was named Oostdorp. The In- 
habitants of this place are also Puritans alias Independents. They 
also have no Preacher. They hold Sunday meetings reading from an 
English book a sermon and making a prayer. 

About 18 miles up the North River, halfway between the Manhat- 
tans & Renselaer or Beverwyck lies a place called by the Dutch 
Esopus or Sypous; by the Indians Atkarkarton. It is an exceedingly 
beautiful land. There some Dutch Inhabitants have settled them- 
selves, and prosper especially well. They hold Sunday meetings 
and then one among them reads something out for a postille. 

So it stands in this our province with churches. It is to be added 
that (to our knowledge) not one of all these places, whether Dutch 
or English villages, hath a Schoolmaster, expect the Manhattans, 
Beverwyck & now one also at Fort Casimir on the South River; and 
though some parents would give their children some Instruction; 
yet they experience much difficulty, and nothing else is to be expected 
than a ruined youth and a bewilderment of men's minds. Scarcely 
any means can be seen to remedy this evil: — 1. because some villages 
are only in their first establishment, and whilst people come naked & 
poor from Holland they have not means to provide a minister & school- 
master. 2. because there are few qualified persons in this Country 
who can or will teach. 

Of the conversion of the Heathens or Indians here, we can say but 
little, nor do we see any means thereunto until by the numbers and 
power of our nation they are subdued and brought under some policy 






JAQUETT FAMILY 81 

and our people shew them a better example than they have hitherto 
done. 

We have had one Indian here with us full two years, so that he 
could read and write good Dutch; we instructed him in the grounds 
of Religion; he also answered publicly in the Church, & repeated the 
prayers. We likewise presented him with a Bible in order to work 
through him some good among the Indians. But it all resulted in 
nothing. He has taken to drinking of Brandy; he pawned the bible 
and became a real beast who is doing more harm than good among 
the Indians. 

In conclusion we commend your Rev: to the merciful protection 
of the Almighty, whom we pray to be pleased to bless your Rev: in 
the Holy ministry.

Nothing in the foregoing suggests that the Rev. Cas- 
parus de Carpentier was in this country. 

The writers of the letter who had been sent here by 
the Classis of Amsterdam, were reporting to the latter 
concerning conditions generally and, upon referring to 
an incident told them by Commandant Jaquet, they 
had alluded to him as a brother-in-law of Rev. Casparus 
de Carpentier, as the latter was a preacher at Amster- 
dam and a member of that Classis, consequently, the 
relationship was merely referred to for identification. 

An Historical Sketch of the Presbyterian Church in 
New Castle, Delaware, by the Rev. J. B. Spottswood, D.D., 
Pastor. Philadelphia, i8jg, Page 8: 

"In 1684, there died in this town a French clergyman concerning 
whom we can learn nothing. It is presumed that he was one of the 
exiled Huguenots, who where then flying to this country." 

Dr. Spottswood's publication is merely a pamphlet 
of a few pages — the name of Carpentier is not mentioned 
at all in the whole publication. The foregoing is the 
entire reference to the French clergyman. It will be 
observed that the clergyman referred to was French, 
that nothing could be learned of him, not even his name, 
and it is presumed that he was one of the exiled Hugue- 



82 JAQUETT FAMILY 

nots who were then -flying to this country — not at all sug- 
gesting that he had been here as early as 1657. 

Anthology of New Nether land. By Henry C. Murphy — 
New York — 1865. Page 108: 

Dom. Selyns devoted himself in the meanwhile assiduously to the 
duties of his calling, communicating regularly as usual by letter to 
the classis. 

"Sir Edward Andros," he writes, Oct. 10, 1688, "Governor at 
Boston, who has now also entered upon the government of New 
York and Jersey, having thus in charge the country from Canada 
to Pennsylvania, belongs to the Church of England. Understanding 
and speaking both Low Dutch and French he attends my preaching 
and that of M. Daille. The rising thundergust of schismatic Lab- 
adism and the bruta et brutalia lightning of fantastic Quakerism have 
mostly vanished, without more ado, into smoke. Vorsman and his 
company, comprise, at the highest, twelve Labadistic apostles, and 
are striving to fill up their graveyard in New Bohemia. It will finally 
come to naught. Tellenaer has packed up his Quaker goods in order 
to become a justice of the peace in a village in Pennsylvania. To 
subsist without God was an impossible thing. Would that sin could 
be so diminished and godliness thus increased through the whole 
land. But dykes and dams break through, more and more, and place 
this land in the most miserable flood of unrighteousness. God pre- 
serve us from more sin and keep us from proportionate punishment. 

' ' It has pleased the Lord to visit this city and most of the country 
with a new kind of measles, and a relapsing of the same. Dom. 
Schaats, of New Albany, arrived at his 80th year, begins to fail and 
preaches once a fortnight. This patriarch may at any moment be 
removed to the land of the patriarchs. Our French brethren are 
doing well, and their congregations increase remarkably by the daily 
arrival of French fugitives. At New Castle the French minister is 
dead. About five leagues from here, where Nova Rupella (New 
Rochelle) is built up, a new minister, de novo, has arrived. Thus 
the Church of Christ extends to the East and to the West; and whether, 
by these means, the doors of heaven will be opened for the Indians, 
who are blind of faith, and wild of manners, time will show. It seems 
as if God himself, looking upon this time of ignorance in these parts, 
proclaims everywhere for men to repent." 

Nothing in the foregoing suggests Carpentier. It 
will be observed that the congregations were increasing 
by the daily arrival of French fugitives, which is con- 
sistent with Dr. Spottswood's statement concerning the 
Huguenots arriving in 1684. Neither suggests that 
there were any French here as early as 1657. As French 



JAQUETT FAMILY 83 

refugees had been arriving since 1684, it was quite nat- 
ural that Selyns should allude to one of their pastors 
being dead in 1688 but upon what evidence could the 
inference be made that Carpentier was intended ? Dr. 
Corwin, apparently upon seeing Carpentier mentioned 
as the brother-in-law of Jaquet, in the letter of Mega- 
polensis and Drisius of 1657, assumed he was in this 
country with Jaquet, but had he read the entire letter 
more carefully he would have discovered his error. 
Having made an erroneous inference, Dr. Corwin was 
readily misled to believe Carpentier was the French cler- 
gyman referred to by Dr. Spottswood as having died in 
1684, although it is impossible to see how he could apply 
any name to Dr. Spottswood's meagre statement. In 
the same manner he again fell into error in citing Selyns' 
letter of 1688 as authority for Carpentier's death, which 
also suggests two dates for his death, 1684, if Spotts- 
wood were relied upon, and 1688, if Selyns' statement 
were taken. 

It would seem necessary merely to present the fore- 
going authorities cited by Dr. Corwin to show the in- 
accuracy of his inferences with reference to Carpentier, 
but additional references will remove all doubt. 

Ecclesiastical Records of the State of New York — igoi. 

In the preface of the work referred to it is stated that 
" the active prosecution of this work has been conducted, 
however, by the Rev. Edward T. Corwin. D.D., whose 
long residence in Holland and thorough knowledge of 
the Dutch language, well qualify him for the important 
task." Although Dr. Corwin is deserving of great credit, 
yet his insertion of parentheses in the body of the origi- 
nal documents instead of using footnotes has been mis- 
leading.

The Consistory of Amsterdam represented that they had heard

minister at Amersfoort, as ministers (candidates), for the service of 
their congregation. They had also received the approval of their 
noble magistrates, and now they requested that the Classis would 
also approve the same. So be it. The Classis having given heed 
unto this request, do also, in the fear of the Lord, approve the election 
and calls of these two individuals, and wish the blessing of the Lord 
upon the Church of Amsterdam, unto the consummation of the same.

Rev. Casparus Carpentier,* who had been called and installed as

excellent certificates, as to doctrine and life, both from the Classis, 
and from the Church of Amersfoort, was also welcomed, congratulated 
and accepted as a member of our Classis. v. 152." 

The references quoted from the Classis of Amsterdam 
establish Carpentier's connection with it and explain 
why Megapolensis and Drisius referred to him in their 
letter of 1657, but Dr. Corwin still adheres to his errors 
in his footnote in which he repeats the statements and 
authorities mentioned in his Manual of the Reformed 
Church, previously quoted. When Dr. Corwin published 
the latter work he merely stated his inferences from 
the authorities cited by him, but when he compiled the 
material abroad for his later work it was strange that 
he did not observe the inaccuracy of his allusions to 
Carpentier in his former work.

Reverend, Godly, Wise and Learned Brethern: — 

For some time past we have been learning with much satisfaction, 
through the verbal statements of many who came to us from New 
Netherland, that the church there, although small, is in a good and 

* Casparus de Carpentier was called from the church of Amersfoort to be one of 
the collegiate ministers of the church of Amsterdam on April 17th, i6so, being the 
48th minister called to that church. He died on May 12, 1667. He was probably 
the father of Rev. Casparus Carpentier, mentioned in a letter of Megapolensis and 
Drisius, Aug. 5, 1657, who settled at New Amstel, Del. He is again referred to in a 
letter of Oct. 10, 1688. This Carpentier was a brother-in-law of Jean Paul Jacquet 
Commandant as Fort Casimir, Delaware, See Doc. Hist., N. Y., Ill, 69-72, 4to ed. ;

peaceful condition; also that the extension of Christ's Kingdom 
among the blind heathen is taken to heart, although not accompanied 
with that success that could be wished. While we give thanks to the 
Almighty for his grace, and commend the zeal of the brethern, we 
would have preferred to learn the situation of the church from letters 
of your own, especially in matters of importance. But no letters 
from you have come to hand since your last, under date of October 6, 
1653. After the receipt of that letter, we wrote to you in two letters, 
dated respectively February 26 and November 11, 1654, what efforts 
had been made by the Hon. Directors, and with what good results. 
Since then either you have not written, or else our letters did not 
come to your hands. From this we conclude that the Lutherans 
must have abandoned their intention of procuring a minister of their 
persuasion. Our Rev. Classis, indeed, looked upon this matter as 
an affair of great consequence; for the Mennonists and English Inde- 
pendents, of whom there is said to be not a few there, might have 
been led to undertake the same thing in their turn, and would prob- 
ably have attempted to introduce public gatherings In fact we 
are informed that even the Jews have made request of the Hon. Gov- 
ernor, and have also attempted in that country to erect a synagogue 
for the exercise of their blasphemous religion. Out of all these things, 
indeed, there would have arisen a very Babel. One cannot contem- 
plate, without great emotion of soul, how greatly a pastor's labor 
would have been increased under such circumstances, and beset with 
obstacles, and what difficulties would have arisen to interfere with 
their good and holy efforts for the extension of the cause of Christ. 
The Hon. Directors appear to have acted in this matter in a very 
Christian manner. Let us then — we here in this country and you 
there — employ all diligence to frustrate all such plans, that the 
wolves may be warded off from the tender lambs of Christ. 

There came to hand lately a certain catechism drawn up by Rev. 
John Megapolensis, with request for our approval, and that it be 
prepared for printing. The Rev. Classis resolved, in conformity 
with their action of January 30, 1651, in reference to this and like 
matters, that although the diligence of his Reverence is to be 
commended, yet that it is inadvisable to permit the printing, much 
more the introduction of the same for the instruction of youth. Such 
a course would war against the general order and usage of our church, 
both in this country and in distant churches, planted by and depend- 
ant on us. In these churches no other catechisms besides the Heidel- 
berg, and the Compendium of the same, called the Short Inquiry, is 
in use in the catechetical sermons, catechetical classes and schools. 

Dear Brethern, the general Formula, the doctrines which are good, 
tried, and established by long practice, to which old and young have 
everywhere become accustomed, and which have been used with 
much edification, should not be lightly changed. Hence also this 
matter belongs to the order and laws of the National Synod and 



86 JAQUETT FAMILY 

which no Particular Synod, much less a Classis or Consistory, may 
alter. We leave it to your own forecast to decide, whether other 
churches, should such a practise be permitted, would not likewise 
assume the same liberty, and not only use other catechisms, but 
different ones at different times in the same place? Neither would 
this liberty be limited to this one matter of the Catechism. It would 
also extend to other matters, either of a similar or of a different nature. 
Out of this, what sad disputes, schisms, and all manner of confusions, 
would arise. Beloved let us ever maintain unity, not only in the 
doctrine of truth, but also in the Formula of the same, as well as in 
those things which pertain to Order. Thus will the unity of the 
Spirit, in the bond of peace, be promoted. 

We wrote you on November n, 1654, concerning the proposal of 
sending a minister to Long Island. As we understand it, he was to 
receive six hundred guilders salary, by voluntary contributions of 
the inhabitants, who would bind themselves to furnish, each one, 
his share. We have indeed looked about for such a good minister, 
but the proposed sum of money was considered altogether too mod- 
erate, especially since he had a pretty large family. The Rev. Classis 
has therefore been unable to secure anyone. The Rev. Brethren 
then requested that an effort be made to raise the sum to twelve 
hundred or at least one thousand guilders, but nothing subsequently 
was accomplished, so far as we know. We have heard, however, 
that Rev. Mr. Polhemus has undertaken the charge there, having 
come from Brazil. He lost his charge there by reason of the sad 
failure of the Company. We would like to know how this arrange- 
ment is working. Those coming from that place (Long Island), 
with whom we have conversed, tell us that there are not a few members 
of the church there; and they also declare that his Reverence is recog- 
nized by all as the regular minister; that he performs all the func- 
tions of a pastor; and sometimes preaches at New Amsterdam, as 
well as at Midwout, (Flatbush) and that his labors are appreciated, 
and are not without fruit. We request, however, further infor- 
mation about all these things. 

As far as we are concerned, we have nothing against his Reverence 
being and remaining pastor there according to (Church) Order. The 
Rev. Mr. Polhemus has written to his wife that he is inclined to re- 
main there. He says that he can get along with the salary, and will 
continue his labors there, and directs her and the children to come 
over. We have not wished to dissuade her from this journey to her 
husband, but have rather sought to help her designs with the Hon. 
Directors. She is a very worthy matron, and has a great desire to 
join her husband. She has struggled along here in poverty and great 
straits, and has always conducted herself modestly and piously. 

We greatly desire, moreover, to learn how matters stand in the 
church in Renselaerswyck on the south river; (this must be a mis- 
take in one word or the other. Either south river must be read 






JAQUETT FAMILY 87 

north river, or else New Amstel should be read in place of Renselaers- 
wyck) and if there be any other churches thereabout; what school- 
masters are there, and what they are doing; what efforts towards 
the conversion of the heathen, whether adults or children, are made, 
or ought to be made, or might be made; in particular, what wants 
the Rev. Brethren would wish to have supplied in the way of Cate- 
chisms and Compendiums. Perhaps ere long, a wide door will open 
for the spread of the Gospel among the heathen. To this end you 
and we should use all diligence, trusting that our labor will not be 
in vain in the Lord. 

William Vestens, having come over to us, has, at his own request,

which sailed in December last. Nothing else remains except our

The Classis of Amsterdam to the Consistory of New 
Netherland, sent with Rev. Everardus Welius. 

May 25th, 1657. 

Reverend, Very Learned, Godly and Well Beloved Brethern in 
Christ Jesus: 

We cannot allow the excellent opportunity which is offered us to 
pass, without sending this communication to you. The Hon. Mayor 
of this city (Amsterdam) as well as the Hon. Commissioners of the 
Affairs in the South River in New Netherland, have approved, in ac- 
cordance with the published conditions concerning the same, (Art. 7, 
of the previous year,) the sending provisionally to that place, of a 
schoolmaster, who will also visit the sick, and publicly read God's 
Word, and sing the Psalms. Accordingly we have sought out, for this 
purpose, a worthy man, named Evert Pieterson. He has been ex- 
amined in all the above named particulars, and is considered prop- 
erly qualified. He therefore undertook his journey thither, (March 
9, 1657,) in the fear of the Lord. We doubt not but that he has 
already arrived, and has edified many. By him a certain letter was 
sent over to your Reverences, in which we gave account of those 
things which we judged necessary to communicate to you, (See 
Col. Docs. N. Y. II. 4-22, 48-74) 

The Gospel door seems ever to be opening more widely. Several 
families are about to remove hence, being willing to be transported 
thither. Who knows what the Lord God purposes in respect to the 
extension of his kingdom, and the conversion of the heathen. Indeed 
this good work has been so greatly taken to heart here, that it has 



88 JAQUETT FAMILY 

been deemed necessary to send a lawful minister there, to institute 
religious meetings in which God's word may be preached with sound- 
ness, the sacraments administered according to Christ's ordinances, 
and God's name publicly honored. Accordingly the Rev. Classis 
has been occupied in choosing one from among the recommended 
candidates, to go over in the capacity of minister. The lawful choice 
has fallen upon Rev. Everardus Welius, a young man deserving of 
much praise in many respects. For he is such a one in life, in study, 
in gifts, in conversation, that we expect nothing else than to hear, 
in due time, that he fills his office with fruitfulness, under God's 
blessing and grace. Therefore also he has been ordained to his 
office, after a proper final examination, by the laying on of hands 
in the Classical Assembly. 

We request, in case he should stop over in passing, in your lo- 
calities, (New Amsterdam), that you will treat him with brotherly 
consideration, and assist him in everything wherein he may have 
need of your services. We hope that the Lord of the harvest will 
make him a useful and successful laborer in the harvest which is 
yet to be gathered there; that he will increasingly endue him with 
strength of body and of soul; for surely his Reverence will, especially 
at first, find trouble enough to fashion everything into a well ordered 
form of church government. To this end, indeed, a friendly cor- 
respondence between him and you, so far as possible, will not be 
unserviceable to him. And the work of the ministry will be very 
difficult, since there are already there, and in time more people will 
come, of all manner of pernicious persuasion. Every one can there- 
fore, easily perceive how much diligence and labor are required to 
prevent false opinions and foul heresies from becoming prejudicial 
to the pure truth. 

In order also, that divers sects, in that colony, may not be able to 
lift their heads, we have earnestly urged upon the Mayor and Com- 
missioners here (at Amsterdam) that their Honors should do some- 
thing to establish some (ecclesiastical) Order, in opposition to 
general license. They have given us quite a satisfactory answer, 
namely, that they could not force the consciences of men, which 
indeed, we had expressly stated we did not wish; but they said, 
that should information arrive that the sects carried on their ex- 
ercises of religion (in public) then they would look to it to prevent 
such a thing, after examination of the facts. 

We have requested your Reverences to inform us from time to 
time, by writing, concerning the condition of affairs in the Church 
over which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers. We hear in- 
deed one thing and another, through different private sources. But 
meantime we are awaiting agreeable letters directly from you; but 
now for years we have received no answers to our communications. 
This circumstance makes us somewhat fearful lest this friendly cor- 
respondence should gradually cease. This we hope not to see. 



JAQUETT FAMILY 89 

Meanwhile, as regards your Church, we did not sit still in the mat- 
ter of the Lutheran controversy, of which frequent mention has 
been made in our former letters; but so far as was practicable, we 
have held a watchful eye upon it. It was rumored that they had 
again petitioned the Directors to be permitted to enjoy, in that 
land, freedom in the public exercises of their religion. But their 
request was not granted. After they had repeatedly pressed their 
suit, the said gentlemen dismissed them, finally, with the answer, 
that their petition should be presented rather to the States-Gen- 
eral than to them. We were further informed that the Directors 
had examined the list of persons who had journeyed thither, and 
had found among the number, the name of one John Ernest Goed- 
water, (Gutwasser,) who for all we know, was examined by the Luth- 
eran Church here, ordained as preacher, and sent over there in that 
capacity. This is indeed a matter of great importance, which might 
most signally hinder the progress of the truth. Therefore the Rev. 
Brethern, the Deputies of the Classis, have been occupied since last 
year in seeking to stop the growth of this evil. They have diligently 
plied the Directors with persuasive arguments, and have persevered, 
until the above mentioned gentlemen resolved to abide by the old 
resolution, in conformity with what they had previously written 
to the General and his Council in that place. Of this writing an 
extract was asked and granted. In this we observe that the Luth- 
erans were permitted the free exercise of their religion in their own 
houses. We cannot interpret this in any other way than that every- 
one must have the freedom to serve God quietly within his dwelling, 
in such a manner as his religion may prescribe, without instituting 
any public gathering or conventicles. When this interpretation 
is recognized, our complaints will cease. 

It therefore remains to you, worthy brethern, to be vigilant, lest 
your congregation, which we learn is at present in a good and en- 
couraging condition, suffer from the liberty which the sects may 
assume. But should it happen that this evil is not remedied to your 
satisfaction, although we hope it may be otherwise, if we can serve 
you in any way, we gladly offer a helping hand, in the name of the 
Classis, whenever our body is furnished by your Reverences with 
proper information. This we will use as occasion permits. 

Herewith we conclude. Meanwhile we hope that the Lord God 
may bless you in your duties, and may preserve you in good health, 
to the honor of his Holy Name, to the signal edification of your 
congregation; and to your temporal welfare and eternal salvation.

The foregoing letters show Carpentier's knowledge 
of ecclesiastical conditions in New Netherland. The 
latter letter is written May 25, 1657, and must have 
actually crossed that written by Megapolensis and 
Drisius Aug. 5, 1657. It will be seen how natural it 
was for the latter to refer to Carpentier for the purpose 
of identification of Jaquet.

"But because many Swedes and Fins, at least two hundred, live 
above Fort Christina . . . the Swedish Governor made a con- 
dition in his capitulation, that they might retain one Lutheran 
preacher (Lokenius) to teach these people in their language. 

This Lutheran preacher (Lokenius) is a man of impious and scan- 
dalous habits. . . . The Commandant at Fort Casimir, Jean 
Paulus Jacquet, brother-in-law of Domine Casparus Carpentier, 
told us." 

The foregoing letter having already been quoted in 
extenso, the portion quoted is merely to show Dr. Cor-

showing thereby his knowledge of the parson referred 
to and the error of his inference in his earlier work (the

The Church of New Castle (South River) to the Classis of 
Amsterdam, September 25, 1682. 

Reverend and Pious Fathers in Christ: — 

After the death of Dimine Welius, who was sent here by your 
Reverences about twenty-five years ago, we were without a preacher 
of the Holy Gospel of the Reformed Christian Church, for nearly 
twenty-three years, until Domine Petrus Tesschenmaker, then only 
a licentiate, came to us four years ago, and was advanced to the 
ministry by the Rev. Classis at New York, upon our urgent request, 
and with the consent of our Governor there. He left us without 
lawful reason, and has accepted, as we are told another call made by 
the people of Bergen, in East New Jersey. 

We have learned that Domine Jacobus Coelman, former minister 
at Huys, in Flanders, now without a place, is on your coast; and 
inasmuch as we are sufficiently assured of his References ripe or- 



JAQUETT FAMILY 91 

thodoxy, knowledge, aptness to teach, and good character, by trust- 
worthy persons; therefore we earnestly pray and make request in 
a manner friendly, that your Reverences will please to give your 
consent to our call of said Domine Jacobus Coelman, and to send 
him by first opportunity to us, with your permission that he may 
become our pastor and teacher; and so remain. 

We live here among many Lutherans, whose teachers preach in 
a very unedifying manner; and among a still greater number of 
Quakers who are given to errors. Apparently they will not cease 
their efforts to draw into their fold the fickle ones. Therefore preach- 
ing and catechizing in the clean, upright, true Reformed religion is 
very necessary here, especially as a great many unreliable, dissolute 
people move in here among us. We know, that said Domine Jacobus 
Coelman usually does not observe the printed forms of prayers or 
holydays; but we will not grow angry about that while we know 
that he is sound in doctrine and of a good life. We hope, the Lord 
will dispose your hearts, so that your Reverences will please to con- 
sider our miserable spiritual state and condition, and that you will 
not fail to send Domine Jacobus Coelman to us; especially since the 
majority of our congregation, comprising about one hundred fathers 
of families, have subscribed for a yearly salary for said Domine 
Jacobus Coelman and have firmly pledged certain of their lots to him. 
We shall therefore rely upon the fatherly Christian love of your 
Reverences and earnestly await the arrival of his Reverence. We 
also beseech the Almighty for yourselves, and the growth of your 
congregations in faith, peace and love, in Jesus Christ, our Lord. 
We remain, Reverend, Pious Fathers, 

Your very humble servants, friends and 

brothers,

Had Carpentier been here, his brother-in-law Jaquet 
would hardly have made the foregoing statements. 
This letter of itself would seem sufficient to prove that 
Carpentier was not here.

The parentheses are inserted by Dr. Corwin. By 
comparison of this reference with the quotation of the 
letter in Murphy's Anthology it will be seen that the 
latter does not suggest Carpentier. Dr. Corwin still 
continues his error with reference to Carpentier. Further 
references show that Carpentier was not here.

"With this object in view, Stuyvesant, the Dutch Director General 
at New Amsterdam, organized an expedition to the South river in 
1 65 1, and after abandoning and demolishing Fort Nassau, a colony 
was established and fort built at Sandhuken, which they called Fort 
Casimir. . . . The Dutch minister, Grasmeer, accompanied 
Stuyvesant on this expedition, so that he was probably the first 
minister of the Gospel who visited New Castle. There is no record 
of any religious services conducted by him at the new post, but it is 
reasonable to suppose that there were such services. He returned to 
New Amsterdam with Stuyvesant." 

' ' Fort Casimir was captured by a Swedish force under John Risingh 
on May 30, 1654, and called Fort Trinity. Stuyvesant at the head 
of a small fleet and army recaptured the place on September 11, 
16^ s. . - • During the Swedish occupancy of about Sixteen 
months, a Swedish minister named Petrus Hjort resided at the fort, 
and he was the first minister of any denomination who was stationed 
at New Castle. Sprincborn says concerning him: "Rising likewise 
exhibited zeal and circumspection in administering the religious 
interests of the colony, of the ministers (already spoken of) who came 
out on the " Ornen." one Petrus Hjort. described by Rising as " both 
temporally and spiritually a poor parson was assigned a home in Fort 
Trinity, also to be the centre of his parochial duties, while his com- 



JAQUETT FAMILY 93 

panion, Matthias Nertunius, dwelt at Upland." After the recapture 
of the Fort by Stuyvesant the two Clergymen above named were 
taken to New Amsterdam, to be conveyed thence to Europe in Novem- 
ber with Rising. (Sprincborn Hist. Colony of New Sweden, Pa. 
Mag. Vol. VIII, p.p. 136 and 157). 

"The second expedition under Stuyvesant was accompanied by 
his Chaplain Rev. John Megapolensis, who preached a sermon to the 
troops on Sunday, September 12th, the day after the capture. The 
Dutch West India Company recognized the authority of the established 
Church of Holland over their Colonial possessions, and the specific care 
of the transatlantic Churches was early intrusted by the synod of 
North Holland to the Classis of Amsterdam. By that body all the 
Colonial clergy were approved and commissioned. The clergymen 
commissioned by the Classis of Amsterdam were of course Calvan- 
ists. They were generally men of high scholarship and thorough 
theological training, 'for the people who at Leyden preferred a Univer- 
sity to a fair, insisted upon an educated Clergy.' (Broadhead's 
His. N. Y. 614). . . . 

"The following extract from the appendix to Broadhead's History 
of New York at page 760 gives a curious picture of ecclesiastical 
affairs in Manhatan about the close of Kieft's adminstration : 'What 
religion could men expect to find in a person (Kieft) who from the 3d 
of January 1644, to nth of May, 1647, would never hear God's 
word . . . During the sermon . . . Director Kieft sev- 
eral times allowed the drum to beat. The Clergyman, Bogardus, 
having therefore requested that the drum might be beaten some- 
what further off,' etc." 

Page 9: 

"The Dutch Calvanists could see little good in the Swedish 
Lutheran Minister; and this will account largely for the opinions 
expressed about the Swedish Minister Lokenius in the following 
letter from the Revs. John Megapolensis and Samuel Drisius, 
written from New Amsterdam to the Classis of Amsterdam, August 
5, 1657." (Then follows the letter, previously quoted). 

Page 10: 

"At the time of the overthrow of the Swedish Government on the 
Delaware, and for some years before, there was a Swedish Church 
and Congregation, at Swanwyck, a small settlement about one 
English mile above Fort Casimir, at which place the Lutheran mini- 
ster, above spoken of (Lokenius) officiated, and not at New Castle. 
After the visit of Dr. Megapolensis to Fort Casimir in 1655, there 
appears to have been no one at this point to look after the religious 
interests of the colonists until the transfer of the territory, ' from 
South Side Christinakill to Boomtze's (Bombay) Hook' to the city of 



94 JAQUETT FAMILY 

Amsterdam, which event occurred July 12, 1656, and the colony was 
given the name of New Amstel. 

"The city engaged to send out 'a proper person for a schoolmaster, 
who shall also read the Holy Scriptures in public and set the Psalms.' 
The first colonists sent out by the city numbered, including 50 soldiers, 
167 persons under Director Jacob Alrichs. Evert Pieterson, who had 
passed a good examination before the Classis, accompanied the emi- 
grants 'as schoolmaster and Ziekentrooster to read God's word and 
lead in singing, until the arrival of a Clergyman' (Brodhead, N. Y., 

631). 

"During the first few months of Alrichs' administration, Evert 
Pieterson, 'the Voorleezer,' performed the duties of his office. The 
classis of Amsterdam, however, soon commissioned Domine Ever- 
ardus Welius, a young man of much esteem 'in life, in studies, in gifts 
and in conversation,' to take charge of the congregation, who sailed 
for the South river in company with about four hundred new emi- 
grants. They arrived at New Amstel on board the 'De Waegh' and 
galiot 'Nieuwe Amstel' on August 21, 1657, and a congregation was 
at once organized of which Director Alrichs and Jean Williams were 
appointed elders, and Evert Pieterson and a colleague, deacons. 
Thus we find the first regularly appointed Dutch minister settled 
at New Castle, and this event marked the beginning of an era of 
prosperity in the new colony." 

Page 1 2 : 

"A violent epidemic of dysentery raged in the town of New Amstel 
in the fall and winter of 1659, and on the 9th of December of that 
year Welius fell a victim to it" (Alrichs' letter to Classis of Amster- 
dam, Dec. 12, 1659). 

Page 13: 

"After the death of Welius, great inconvenience was felt in the 
absence of a minister, and we find the authorities constantly remind- 
ing the Directors in Holland of their needs and great desire that one 
should be sent them. Governor Beekman at Altona (theretofore 
Fort Christina), writing to Stuyvesant May 12, 1660, says: 'I learn 
from Capt. Creiger that your Noble Worship is expecting three or 
four preachers from the Fatherland; I would request your Honor 
that one of them might be sent to us here on the river, for the relief 
of the community of Christians; it would occasion further increase 
and population.' (Albany Records, Vol. XII., p. 310). Of his own 
needs for a minister, Beekman, under date of January 14, 1661, writes 
'Yesterday, the Lord our God did give an increase to our family 
by a boy; I could wish there was an opportunity of initiating him 
him by christian baptism' (Hazard's Annals, p. 320), and on Sep- 
tember 8, 1662, says in letter to Alrichs (Stuyvesant) 'Yesterday 



JAQUETT FAMILY 95 

my wife was delivered of a son, so that now two of my sons are un- 
baptized. We are expecting daily the Shallop with the desirable 
Gospel minister.' 

"Beekman was probably misinformed as to the arrival of the 
minister as no other mention is made of it. In a letter to Stuyvesant 
dated August 3, 1662, he writes: 'If your Honorable worship would 
consider it expedient to send hither the Honorable Fiscal, I would 
respectfully request, that he be accompanied by a minister, as there 
are several children to baptize here at Altona as well as New Amstel. 
Nor has the Lord's Supper been administered to us here for two and 
one-half years so that your Honorable Worships would do us a good 
favor by it' (Hazard's Annals, 338). No Dutch minister was sent 
until the Spring of 1664 when Dominie Warnerus Hadson was selected 
by the Classis of Amsterdam and sent, but he died on the voyage out, 
and the Dutch colonists there, whose children had not been baptized 
since the death of Welius, and who held the Lutheran clegyman, 
Lokenius in little esteem, anxiously desired another minister (Brod- 
head's N. Y., 734)-" 

Page 15: 

"In 1663 Abelius Zetscroon, a student, came to this country and 
for sometime held Divine service, to the Swedes at Sandhook. " 
(New Castle) (Acrelius' " New Sweden"). Beekman in a letter to 
Stuyvesant November 15, 1663, says, 'Abelius Zetskroon has been 
called by those of the Augsburg Confession who belong to the 
Colony of New Amstel (Albany Records, vol. XII., p. 446)." 

Page 16: 

"For some years after the arrival of the English, but little attention 
appears to have been given to religious matters at New Castle. The 
notorious Rev. Lock or Lokenius seems to have been the only Swedish 
minister, indeed, the only minister of any persuasion, on the Dela- 
ware river for some years. During the year 1667, the Swedish Church 
at Crane Hook near the mouth of the Christiana, was built, and about 
that time the church at Swanwyck near New Castle, was abandoned."

"Rev. Jacobus Fabritius, a Dutch or Polish Lutheran minister 
who had come over from Holland in 1669, and was given charge of

"Aemelius De Ringh, about the time of the re-occupation of New 
Castle by the English, was appointed Reader in the church and re- 
ceived for several years more or less compensation by subscriptions 
from the people .... How long De Ringh acted as reader 
in the church the records do not show, put he was living, as appears 
by the list of taxables, as late as 1689." 

Page 27 : 

"The next clergyman who was regularly appointed at New Castle 
was a clergyman of the Church of England, the first minister of that 
church, so far as any records show, who had ever held service on the 
Delaware. He came to New Castle in December, 1677. He was 
not regularly appointed by the court until the next March, as the 
proceedings of the court on the 7th of that month will show." 

Page 29 : 

"The records do not show how long Mr. Yeo ministered to the 
people at New Castle but probably for some months fully, and after- 
wards, to a limited extent, until 1681." 

Page 36 : 

"As the men in authority at New Castle were generally Dutch, 
and in faith Calvinists, they were probably not well satisfied with 
Rev. John Yeo and his preaching and ministrations according to 
the Church of England, so that we find a few months after Mr. Yeo's 
arrival, on July 17, 1678, at a meeting of Justices an address was 
prepared to be forwarded to the Governor-General by Mr. John Moll, 
'1st to desire and humbly request his Honor the Governor to grant 
us leave and permission to obtain and have an orthodox minister 
(New Castle County. Rec. "B" 301). . . 

"The justices seem not to have lost much time, after their request 
was granted, in securing the services of a Dutch minister, as we find 
Domine Petrus Tesschenmaker or Tesschemacker in New Castle early 
in the year 1679." (O'Call. 3, 965; Albany Rec. 12, p. 633; and 
New Castle Co. Rec. "B." 80). 

Page 38: 

"The records of this minister's life and ministrations in New Castle 
are very meagre, and we therefore know very little of his work. He 
was assessed in 1689, and probably remained in New Castle until 
that year. He became about this time the minister at the Town of 
Schenectady, New York, and was there only a short time when he 
met with a tragic death in the massacre of the people of that place 
on February 9, 1690, although his death was not intended. (O'Cal- 
laghan, Vol. 1, pp. 300 and 305). So ended the life of the last Dutch 
minister at New Castle."

From the foregoing authorities it is quite clearly es- 
tablished that Carpentier was not here in 1657 nor sub- 
sequently. A thorough investigation has been made 
of all the records relating to New Netherland available 
in this country without finding the name Carpentier 
mentioned except in the instances quoted. Had he 
been here, his name would have been mentioned in 
some of the histories of ecclesiastical affairs, in histor- 
ical works, court proceedings, tax lists, records relating to 
lands or decedents' estates and similar records. 

(Having established the relationship of Maria Jaquet 
with the Rev. Casparus de Carpentier of Amsterdam, 
the writer has undertaken an investigation of their an- 
cestry.)

"25. In the ship 'de grote Christoffel' goes over as free man 
Jan Paulo Jacquet with his family and as he is unacquainted in that 
country and intends to devote himself there to farming, we have not 
been able nor wished to refuse him the desired recommendation, 
the more so, because he has served the company in Brazil for many 
years: therefore we recommend your Honor to assist the same as 
much as possible, without disadvantage to the Company and after 
having indicated to him some suitable place to allot under the cus- 
tomary conditions as much land to him, as he may be able to cul- 
tivate." 

He was appointed Fire Warden of New Amsterdam 
April 13, 1655 ("The Register of New Netherland, 1626- 
1671," by E. B. O'Callaghan).

"Petrus Stuyvesant, on behalf of their Noble High Mightinesses, 
the Lords States-General of the United Netherlands and the Noble 
Lords-Directors of the General Privileged West-India Company in 
the same, Director-General of New-Netherland, Curacao, Bonayro,

Members of the High Council to All, who shall see, read or hear 
read these presents, greeting: Whereas we needed, for the direction 



98 JAQUETT FAMILY 

and advancement of the affairs of the Honble Company and our 
own on the Southriver of New-Netherland, a proper and qualified 
person, to command there in our absence and manage everything, 
Therefore, upon the good report and information given to us in re- 
gard to the person of Jean Paul Jacquet and trusting therefore to 
his piety, experience and fitness, we have engaged, commissioned 
and appointed the same, as we hereby engage, commission and ap- 
point the aforesaid Jean Paul Jacquet to be our Vice-Director and 
Chief Magistrate on the Southriver of New-Netherland as well as for 
the forts, territories and other places situate upon said river, to keep 
good order for the security of Fort Casimir and other places, already 
established or to be established and to give orders and have them 
observed in all matters concerning trade, policy, justice and mili- 
tary, also in regard to the soldiers, the ships' crews, free persons, 
high and subaltern officers of whatever position and rank they might 
be, who are there already or whom we may deem advisable to send 
there in future; to assist in his position of Vice-Director in the man- 
agement and command of the places and to keep everything in good 
order for the service and welfare of the General Privileged West- 
India Company, to administer law and justice to citizens as" well as 
soldiers and to do further everything concerning his office and duties 
agreeable to the instruction now given and in future to be given, 
which a good and faithful Vice-Director is bound to do by the oath, 
which he is to take at our hands. This having been done, we order 
and command therefore hereby all and everybody, either servants 
of the Honble Company or freemen living on the said river or who 
may afterwards come there, of what nation or position they may be, 
nobody excepted and especially also the present provisional Com- 
mander there, that in our absence they receive, acknowledge and 
respect, obey, the aforesaid Johan Paul Jacquet as our Vice-Director 
and Chief Magistrate and give all help, favor and assistance, as much 
as each may, whereas we thus have considered it advisable for the 
service of the said Company and the advancement of this province. 
Thus done and given at our Council meeting held in Fort Amsterdam 
in New-Netherland under date as above and confirmed with our 
seal impressed here in red wax. 

"Provisional instructions for Jean Paul Jacquet, Vice-Director 
on the Southriver of New-Netherland and the Commissaries joined 

to him. 

i. 

"The abovementioned Jean Paul Jacquet is to have, in our ab- 
sence, supreme command and authority over all officers, soldiers 
and freemen on the aforesaid river and the forts thereof, the first 
place and vote in all council meetings, which meetings shall be called 
only by order and direction of the Vice-Director; in them he shall pre- 
sent all matters concerning the policy, justice, trade, privileges and 
royalties, the Company and its Noble Administration and conclude 



JAQUETT FAMILY 99 

by a majority of votes and in case of a tie of votes he is to have a 
double vote. 

2. 

"The council shall be formed, besides the Vice-Director, by 
Andries Hudde, Elmerhuysen Cleyn and the two Sergeants, if the 
affair is purely military or concerning the Company properly, but 
if the affair is purely a civil one between freemen and the Company's 
servants, then he shall take in place of the two sergeants two of the 
most suitable freemen, as the case may demand it. 

3- 
"In this Council Andries Hudde as Secretary and Surveyor, 
shall do the writing and pertinently annotate, register and book 
all matters, propositions, resolutions, complaints, defaults, arrests 
with the reasons thereof, also all judgments, sentences and decisions 
and with the Vice-Director keep a good journal and daily record of 
what might happen there, what ships and yachts come there, what 
they bring, carry away and accomplish. 

4- 

"In the Fort, in which the Vice-Director happens to be, the key 
of the Fort and the magazine shall be committed to him; and he 
alone shall give the watch-word and have all general and special 
authority, command and power and the subordinate officers not 
more, than what is given them by the Vice-Director's order. 

5- 
"He shall strictly observe and have observed the placard and 
ordinances made and published heretofore against the sale of brandy 
or strong drinks to the savages, regarding the robbing of gardens 
or plantations, the running about in the country, drinking on the 
Sabbath, and profanation of the same. 



"Nor shall he permit that the superior or subordinate officers 
of the Company nor the soldiers absent themselves from the Fort 
during the night without his special consent, nor that the free people, 
especially the Swedes, who have their usual habitation outside, 
remain inside without his knowledge and permission and he shall 
by no means suffer or allow, that Fort Casimir be frequented or 
visited too much either by them or by the savages; he must es- 
pecially observe this upon the arrival of strange ships, yachts and 
vessels. 

7- 

He must not suffer by any means, that ships or vessels go above 
or below Fort Casimir to carry on a trade or negotiations with the 



100 JAQUETT FAMILY 

savages or Christians, but the same must be compelled to remain 
before or near Fort Casimir and trade there or on the shore just below 
the Fort, for the greater security and to prevent mishaps. 

8. 

"He shall keep in good order and discipline the servants of the 
Company, superintend their trainings and guard-duty and main- 
tain Fort Casimir in a becoming state of defense, but if any of them 
should request permission to plant, he may discharge some of them, 
even though their stipulated term has not expired, but under the 
condition and subscribed written promise to help defend, if necessary 
the Fort against all and every one, who may at a future time desire 
to attack the same: he shall also make all the freemen living around 
there now or who may come in future, give the same promise under 
oath and in case of refusal to promise it, he shall send the same (party) 
hither by the first opportunity offering or make him leave. 

9- 
"In distributing land, he must above all take care, that villages 
(bijeenwooninge) be formed of at least 16 or 20 persons or families 
together and in order to prevent the immoderate desire for land he 
shall, in place of tithes, exact from each morgen of land provision- 
ally 12 stivers* annually. 

10. 

"To provide for the great expenses and costs already incurred 
for Fort Casimir and still to be incurred, he shall, following the laud- 
able custom of our Fatherland and of the place, demand and have 
paid the tavernkeepers' excise in conformity to that, which is paid 
here, to wit: 

For a hogshead of French or Rhenish wine fA 2 °- 

an anker of the same wine fl 4- 

for an anker of brandy, Spanish wine or distilled 

water A 7- 

for a ton of imported beer fl 6. 

for a ton of New-Netherland beer fl 4- 

or a larger or small cask in proportion 

He shall also demand this excise from those, who drink in company 
or at drinking-bouts, but from those, who lay it up for home use, he 
shall demand no excise until further orders. 

11. 

"He shall not grant building or farm lots on the edge of the val- 
ley of Fort Casimir, to wit between the kil and the aforesaid Fort 

* 24 cts. gold, 
t One florin = 40c. 



JAQUETT FAMILY 101 

nor behind the Fort, but he shall reserve the land for reinforcements 
and outworks of the Fort; likewise in order to favor more the con- 
centrated settlements on the Southside of the Fort, he shall upon 
occasion clear a good street behind the houses already built and 
lay out the same in convenient order and lots of about 40 to 50 feet 
width and one hundred feet length, the street to be at least 4 to 5 
rods wide. 

12. 

"He must look well after the Swedes, who still are there; if any 
of them might be found, who are not well affected toward the Hon ble 
Company and our native country, he shall with all possible polite- 
ness make them leave, and if feasible send them hither, to prevent 
any more dissatisfaction. 

"He shall try to have intercourse with the savages in all polite- 
ness, but in the meantime be on his guard against them and other 
foreign nations and not suffer that they or others come into the 
Fort armed or in great numbers, by no means let them stay there 
over night, which the inhabitants also ought to take to heart. That 
however the natives may not in the meantime remain under the blue 
sky and that not the least reason for complaints may be given to 
them, it might be useful, that the servants of the Company together 
with the free people made a house of bark outside of the Fort as 
lodgings for those indians, who are not great Sachems. 

14. 

"It is further strongly recommended to the Vice-Director to 
take and have taken at his first arrival, a proper inventory of the 
ammunition, materials, provisions and other effects of the Company 
and inquire of the present Commandant Dirck Smith, how the same 
have been managed since our departure and what has become of 
them, and to send us by the first chance offering a copy thereof and 
proper evidence. 

"Thus done and given at Fort Amsterdam in New-Netherland, 

on the day as above." 

********* 

"To-day, the 8 th of December 1655 the following oath has been 
taken by Jean Paul Jacquet before the Honorable Director-General 
and Counsel: 

"I promise and swear in the presence of Almighty God that I 
will be obedient and faithful to their Noble High Mightinesses, the 
Lords States-General of the United Netherlands, to the Noble Lords- 
Directors of the Privileged West-India Company in the same and to 
their Director-General and Council of New-Netherland now appointed 
or in future to be appointed, that I will administer good law and 



102 JAQUETT FAMILY 

justice, that I will maintain and advance as much as I can the Re- 
formed religion, as the same is taught and preached here and in 
the Fatherland conform to God's word and the Synod of Dortrecht, 
that I will take care of the Fort and its safety to the best of my ability 
and further will, pursuant to the instructions already given to me 
or to be given in future, advance the service of the Company and 
the welfare of the country, also do to the best of my abilities, what 
a good and faithful Vice-Director is bound to do. So help me God 
Almighty!" 

March 29th, 1656, the arrival of the Swedish ship 
"Mercurius" was announced, having 130 persons on 
board. There was considerable objection, at first, to 
permitting them to land, although they subsequently 
were permitted. For full account of the proceedings 
relating to the matter, see "Documents relating to the 
Colonial History of the State of New York," vol. XII., 
pp. 120, 122 and 129. 

On p. 129 of the same work the Directors in Holland, 
in a letter of June 14th, 1656, to Stuyvesant say: 

"We are for the present satisfied with the appointment of Jean 
Paul Jacquet as Vice-Director of the Southriver and will hope and 
trust, that your honors have taken the step after having previously 
ascertained, that his abilities are equal to his duties." 

The same work beginning at p. 133, contains the " Min- 
utes of the administration of Jean Paul Jacquet, Vice- 
Director at the Delaware, and his Council." These pro- 
ceedings were printed in the first edition of the Jaquett 
Family but are now omitted as containing nothing of 
any genealogical interest. 

A number of petty complaints were alleged against 
Jaquet, and, in a letter of April 20th, 1657, Stuyvesant 
retired him from office — subsequent investigation, how- 
ever, exonerated him: (See "Doc. rel. to Col. His. of 
N. Y., vol. XII., supra, pp. 167-175). 

March 26, 1669, he was confirmed in possession of 
two hundred acres by Governor Francis Lovelace (Dover, 
Del., York Records, p. 217). 

May 23, 1 67 1, Governor Francis Lovelace confirmed 
Jean Paul Jaquet in possession of a town lot at New 
Castle (Deeds, Wil., Del., Liber A, vol. I, p. 17). 



JAQUETT FAMILY 103 

Sept. 23, 1676, he was appointed a Justice of the 
Court at New Castle (Doc. rel. to the Col. His. of N. Y., 
p. 558, and also the original commission in poss. of 
the Pa. His. Soc, bound in "Miss. Papers, 165 5-1 805. 
Three Lower Counties of Del.," a facsimile of which 
is here produced), and was re-commissioned several 
succeeding years. The Records of the Court during 
his tenure have been printed in full in "Records of 
the Court of New Castle in Delaware, 167 6-1 681, pub- 
lished by the Colonial Society of Pennsylvania, 1904." 
Many references are also contained in the 1st. Ed. Ja- 
quett Gen. 

1 In "Doc. rel. to the Col. His. of N. Y., pp. 565, 566, 
568, 595, 598, 599, 600, reference is made to the com- 
plaint of Jean Paul Jaquet against Major John Fenwick 
relative to the dispossession of the former by the latter 
of certain land on the East side of the Delaware River, 
called "Stoonhooke" (Steynhooke), which Fenwick had 
illegally given John Erickson. In "New Jersey Ar- 
chives," 1 st. Ser., vol. I, p. 117, occurs the return made 
by John Colier, Commander in Delaware, that July 20, 
1677, he had restored possession of said premises, called 
" Steen-hooke " to Jean Paul Jaquet. 

Peter, Jan and Paul Jaquet are mentioned as taxables 
living within the jurisdiction of the Court of New Castle 
in November, 1677 (Record of the Court, Liber A, p. 
197). They are again mentioned March 25, 1678, (His. 
of Del., by J. Thos. Scharf, p. 153). 

Jean Paul Jaquet was elected an Elder of Immanuel 
Church at New Castle, Dec. 3, 1678 (His. of Ch., by 
Holcomb, p. 35). 

March 30, 1681, return was made of survey: "Laid 
out for Jurian Boatsman of Cristina Creek a tract of 
land called ' Long Hooke,' situate on West side of Cristina 
Creek and between the land of John Paul Jaquet and 
Fearnhooke." (Deeds, Wil., Del., Liber B, p. 229). 

He received a grant from Penn for 200 acres Feb. 22, 
1682, and a warrant for a resurvey of same Feb. 3, 1684 
(Pa. Ar., 2nd Ser., vol. 7, 181). 



104 JAQUETT FAMILY 

He drew the will of Peter Maslander, dated Jan. 2, 
i68f (Wills. 1683-1713, p. 3. Wil., Del.). 

Jean Paul Jaquet, Peter Jaquet, John Jaquet, Jr., 
and Peter de Witt took oath of allegiance to the 
English Feb. 22, 1683 (His. of Del., by Scharf, p. 612). 

Jan. 8, 1683, John Jaquet, Peter Jaquet, Peter de Witt 
and Teunis de Witt are mentioned as taxables (Court 
Liber B, p. 295). 

Feb. 18, i68f, John Jaquet, 80 acres, Teunis de Witt, 
60 acres, and John Jaquet and 2 sons, 290 acres are men- 
tioned as taxables (Same liber, p. 366). 

It will be observed that he died in the interim be- 
tween this reference and the next. The exact date of 
his death has not been ascertained. 

July 20, 1685, "upon ye petition of ye sons of Jean 
Paul Jaquet, deceased, that no other person might keep 
a ferry on their land but themselves, the court do in- 
form ye petitioners they have already disposed of the 
said ferry according to law" (Court Liber B, p. 379). 

Jean Paul Jaquet and Maria Carpentier, his wife had 
issue : 

347. John. 

348. Peter. 
349 Paul. 

VI. 347. John Jaquet, son of Jean Paul Jaquet (338) 
and Maria de Carpentier, may have been born before his 
father's arrival in this country. He married the daughter 
of Peter Teunis DeWitt, of New Castle. On p. 103 of 
first edition (Jaquett Gen.) it is stated that the word 
"Paul" is omitted in the deed of Artman Haym — that, 
however, is incorrect, as John had no other Christian 
name, and Paul, as will hereafter appear, was the Chris- 
tian name of his brother who settled in New Jersey. 
The conveyance referred to is that of "Artman Haym 
of Swanwich in the county of New Castle" to "John 
Jaquet, Jun.," dated Mar. 30, 1685, for a tract on the 
"Pirt Hooke" in said County (Liber A, vol. I, p. 112). 
In the assignment by Hendrick and Jurian Jansen, heirs

and survivors of Jurian Jansen.to Peter and Paul Jaquet, 
heirs and survivors of John Jaquet, late of the County 
of New Castle, dated Aug. 18, 1697, it is impossible to 
tell whether "John Jaquet" refers to Jean Paul Jaquet 
(338) or his son John, Jr., (347) although the former is 
probably the one. The Paul referred to was the son of 
Jean Paul (338) and settled in New Jersey. (1st. Ed. 
Jaquett Gen., p. 103; Liber K, vol. I, p. 314). 

Jan. 28, 1676, Reynier Vauder Coolen conveys to 
Peter DeWitt, both of New Castle Hundred (Liber A, 
vol. I, p. 6). The will of Peter Teunis DeWitt was 
dated Sept. 26, 1683, and proved March 14, 1684. He 
mentions his wife Annieta and his children, the only 
one of whom he mentions by name being his son Theu- 
nis. Witnesses: John Barnes, Ambrose Baker, Peter 
Falcker, Edmond Cantwell. At date of probate it is 
stated that the widow Annieta was 
dead and that none of the children 
had attained age except the daughter 
(name not mentioned) married to John 
Jaquet, Jr., in consequence of which 
administration was granted to him 
("Wills 1683-1713," p. 8, Wil., Del.). 
The DeWitt family was settled at 
Dordrecht, Holland, as early as 1295 
(See Pedigree and arms in " Beschry- 
vinge der stad Dordrecht," by Matthys 
Balen, 1677. The arms are described in 
Rietstap as de sin. a un lievre courant, 
poursuivi d'un levrier, tous deux en chef,

John M. Smith and James Sorden. Probated Sept. 16, 
1834 (Liber T, p. 102). See 1st Ed. for full account of 
Major Jaquett. His portrait is reproduced from the 
original in possession of the family of Benjamin F. Meth- 
ven, Esq., (452). "History of Delaware," by J. Thos. 
Scharf, p. 212: "On the South side of the Christiana 
where it forms a point, is a tract of land for a century or 
more known as Long Hook Farm. It was the patrimonial 
estate of Major Peter Jaquett, who served with distinc- 
tion as an officer in the First Delaware Regiment during 
the Revolution. His remains were borne to the grave 
by sixty young men, who thus wished to do honor to his 
memory. . . . He was one of the first converts 
of this region to Methodism during the visit here of 
George Whitefield. His house was known far and near 
and was visited by many persons who shared his hospi- 
tality. Washington, Lafayette and Bishop White were 
among his guests. He was one of the ideal patriots of 
the great struggle for independence, and he never wearied 
relating the stories of that eventful period, describing 
many thrilling scenes in which he was a participant. He 
was a great favorite of children, and loved to relate to 
them the stories of the past. By his house on the North 
side of the Causeway were tall sycamore trees, lofty pop- 
lars and beautiful evergreens. The birds of early spring- 
time early visited him, built their nests in the shady places 
around his mansion, tuned their voices with sweet melody 
to entertain the old veteran and his guests, and remained 
until late in the fall. A beautiful ivy vine covered one 
end of the dwelling. It was gathered from the castle 
where Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned, and pre- 
sented to Mrs. Jaquett. She, also, cultivated the first 
Champney rose in this vicinity, and was a great lover of 
the beautiful in nature. " 

Ibid., p. 255: 

" Peter Jaquett was born on the family estate of Long 
Hook, on the Christiana opposite Wilmington, and enlisted 
in Haslet's regiment early in 1776. He was by Haslet's 
side when the latter was killed at the battle of Princeton, 



132 JAQUETT FAMILY 

and subsequently joined Hall's battalion as Captain of the 
Fourth Company. It was a Wilmington tradition that 
when Baron De Kalb was fatally wounded at the Battle 
of Camden he fell into the arms of Jaquett. 

"The major served from 1776 until the close of the 
war, spending but six weeks at home in all that time. He 
was in thirty-two battles and many skirmishes, and was 
twice wounded, though not severely. When Cornwallis' 
surrender at Yorktown ended the war he was at the 
South and was placed by General Greene in charge of a 
party of sick and wounded men, with instructions to 
convey them home, which he succeeded in doing after 
many hardships. Passing through Virginia, they were 
made welcome at the home of a patriot, where a lady 
presented Jacquett with some gold pieces which she had 
secreted. In after years he repaid her heirs the principal 
and interest, amounting to over five hundred dollars. 
He arrived at home, broken down in health, to find that 
his estates had almost gone to ruin during his absence. 
His physician directed him to take a voyage to the West 
Indies in search of renewed vigor, but he had no money 
to spend on such a trip. Joseph A. Tatnall, the miller, 
offered him twelve hundred barrels of flour, with the 
proceeds of which he paid the expenses of his journey 
and returned in full physical soundness. He survived 
until September 13, 1834, and was eighty years old when 
he died. He was buried by the side of his wife, Eliza 
Price, of Chester, Pa., in the Old Swedes' Cemetery. 
The stone above his grave records his eminent services to 
his country. He left no issue. "

JAQUETT FAMILY 133 

The name of Captain Peter Jaquett appears in the 
Delaware Detachment, 1782.

the Delaware Legislature, February 15, 1875. Printed

James & Webb, Printers. 1875." Page 47. (In poss. 
of the Penn. His. Soc.) 

In speaking of the Regiment of St. Clair, is quoted, " I 
distinctly recollect two of the officers of this regiment, 
Major Bennet and Major Jacquett. . . . Major 
Peter Jacquett was a small, thick set man. His family 
were quite large land-holders in New Castle Hundred. 
After the war he settled on his farm at the end of the 
Causeway, on the road from Wilmington to New Castle, 
and lived there till his death in 1834. He and Bennett, 
unlike soldiers generally, were not friends ; they had not 
spoken to each other for years prior to Jacquett' s death. 
From what I have heard of Jacquett, it was a hard mat- 
ter for any one to keep on speaking terms with him. 
He was a cross, morose, quarrelsome man. Upon one 
occasion, having lost some wheat, he, without cause, 
accused a neighbor, a very respectable man, a Mr. Thomas 
Tatlow, of stealing it, and wherever he went he was open 
and loud in his assertion that 'Tom Tatlow was a thief.' 
Tatlow sued him for slander, and recovered quite a heavy 
verdict. The late Judge Booth, who was his counsel, in 
explaining to him his liability for his charge against 
Tatlow, told him that certain language was actionable 
in itself, that is, if he called Tatlow a thief, or charged 
him with any other felony, Tatlow could recover without 
showing any special damage, but that there were certain 
names which he could call him, without rendering himself 
liable to damages, unless Tatlow could show special dam- 
age. This explanation of the Judge was the old soldier's 
chance. He persuaded the Judge to put these words on 
paper, and wherever and whenever he afterward met 
Tatlow, he would out with his paper, and beginning at 
the first would go through the roll of names, so long as 
Tatlow remained in earshot.

"The inscription upon his tomb in the old Swedes' 
Church, in Wilmington, states: 

"That he was born April 6 th - 1754, and died upon his 
farm at Crane Hook, September 13, 1834, aged 80 years. 

"That he joined the Delaware Regiment, January 4 th - 
1776, and was in every general engagement under Wash- 
ington which took place in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New 
Jersey, New York and the Eastern States; was ordered 
South to the Southern Army under Bates, and with the 
brave De Kalb was in the battle of Camden, where the 
Delaware Regiment of eight companies was reduced to 
two, of ninety-six men each, and when the command 
devolved on Kirkwood and himself as oldest captains. 
Was in the battles of Guilford, second battle of Camden, 
siege of '96, and battle of the village of that name ; battle 
of Eutaw Springs, and in every other battle under Greene, 
until the capture of Cornwallis at Yorktown. 

"This is a little too strongly and freely drawn, but is, 
in the main, true. Major Jacquett left no children."

" Address from the officers of the Delaware Regiment, 
to the Honourable, the Representatives in the General 
House of Assembly, of the Delaware State, now sitting 
in Wilmington, Dec. 4 th ' 1779. 

"We, the Officers of the Delaware Regiment, do, in the 
most grateful manner, thank the Honourable, the House 
of Assembly, for the two generous Resolves they were 
pleased to pass in our favor. But whilst we thus express 
our gratitude, we cannot but complain, that through 
some defect in the Resolves, or neglect in those who were 
intrusted with the execution of them, we find our situa- 
tion little better than it was before they were passed. We 
have yet received but two months of the supplies allowed, 
and have no prospect of receiving any more, as Colonel 



JAQUETT FAMILY 135 

Craighead informs the Commanding officer in a letter, 
dated October 7 th ' '79, that he has received but 1400 
pounds to purchase a quarterly supply of necessaries, 
that it is inadequate to the purpose, and therefore desires 
we will each take a dividend of that money in lieu of the 
necessaries which we are entitled to receive from him, by 
the Resolve of the Honourable House. This desire we 
must refuse to comply with, for we cannot conceive that 
the Honourable House would wish we should compound 
with Colonel Craighead, and accept one-third of the value, 
instead of the articles; as this would, in a very great 
measure, deprive us of the benefit of the Resolve, and 
again subject us to suffer by the depreciation of our cur- 
rency, which evil their resolve was generously intended to 
prevent. 

"We further beg leave to acquaint the Honourable 
House that of the suit of clothes, which they have ordered 
us to be supplied with, though the season is so far ad- 
vanced, none of us have received a full suit, some, not one 
article, and in general, we want many things that are 
difficult to obtain, and cannot be dispensed with at this 
season, but at the risk of our health. 

"We would also beg leave to represent to the Honour- 
able House, how necessary a part of an officer's dress a 
hat is, and that we imagine a mistake only was the cause 
of its not being enumerated among the other articles of 
clothing, and, therefore, hope they will be pleased to 
allow us that useful article. We also hope the Honourable 
House will continue their bounty by allowing us a suit of 
clothes yearly, at least whilst the currency remains de- 
preciated. 

"Laboring under many difficulties which the distance 
from our respective homes, and the general depreciation 
of the money had thrown among us, we were once before 
obliged to make application to the Honourable House 
for their assistance in removing or alleviating them. 
The spirit of generosity shown in their resolves on that 
occasion, encourages us to submit this to their con- 
sideration, confident that the welfare and honor of the 



136 JAQUETT FAMILY 

Regiment, that claims this patronage, are next to the 
happiness of their country, their greatest wish, and 
that upon this representation of our case, they will 
minutely enquire, from what cause their resolves have 
not been executed, and make such provision for their 
execution, as will in future prevent applications of this 
kind from their 

Very humble servants,

Inscription on the tomb of Major Peter Jaquett. 

"Sacred to the Memory of Major Peter Jaquett, a 
distinguished officer of the Revolution Army, who died 
at his residence— Long Hook farm — near this City, 
September 13 th ' A. D. 1834, in the 80 th year of his age, 
having been born on the 6 th of April, 1755. On the 
fourth of January, 1776, he joined the Delaware Regi- 
ment, and until April, 1780, he was in every general 
engagement under Washington, which took place in 
Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and 
the Eastern States. He was then ordered to join the 
Southern army under General Gates; and with the 
brave De Kalb he was in the battle of Camden, of the 
1 6th of August, in which the Delaware Regiment, con- 
sisting of eight companies, was reduced to two only, 
of ninety-six men each, the command of which devol- 
ved upon his brave comrade Kirkwood and himself, as 
the oldest officers left of this gallant band. He was 
also in the battle of Guilford Court House, the second 
battle of Camden, and in the battle of Eutaw Springs. 
He assisted in the siege of '96, and capture of the vil- 
lage of that name; and was also in every action and 
skirmish under General Green, in whose army he re- 
mained until the capture of Lord Cornwallis at York- 
town. He returned to his native State in 1782, and in 
1794 married Eliza P. Price, daughter of Elisha Price, 
of Chester, Pa., and, as a farmer, he lived upon his 
paternal estate until his death. The brave and hon- 
ored soldier — the kind and obliging neighbor and friend. 

" Beneath this stone also repose the remains of Eliza 
P. Jaquett, 

Wife of Major Peter Jaquett, who was born Novem- 
ber 25 th 1769, and died May 5 th 1834. She was an af- 



138 JAQUETT FAMILY 

fectionate and devoted wife, a kind and humane mis- 
tress, and a warm and untiring friend. In early life 
she became a regular member of the Episcopal Church, 
to which and its ordinances she always remained de- 
votedly attached, trusting to her Saviour alone for par- 
don and forgiveness, and in his gracious promises for 
the hope of a blessed immortality. 
"Hear what the voice from Heaven declares 

To those in Christ who die Released from all their cares, 

They reign with him on high." 

From The Home News, Bryn Mawr, Montgomery 
Co., Pa., March 18, 1887: 

"Obituary of Maj. Peter Jaquett. 

"Preservative of the name and fame of a good man 
and a hero, we are asked to republish the following 
obituary of Major Peter Jaquett, who died September 
12,* 1834: 

"The deceased was a soldier of the Revolution, and 
one of the bravest of those brave men who have immor- 
talized the most glorious page in our country's history. 
In January, 1775, at the age of 20, he received the ap- 
pointment of lieutenant in the gallant regiment of Del- 
aware, and in January following was promoted to a 
captaincy. In both ranks his gallant friend and com- 
rade, Kirkwood, was his senior by one day. From the 
very commencement of the war to its close, Major Ja- 
quett was in constant and active service, with the single 
intermission of a furlough of above three months. Dur- 
ing that period he was engaged in thirty battles in the 
field, besides sieges and storms. In every general en- 
gagement that was fought between New York and 
Charleston, Kirkwood commanding the first, and Ja- 
quett the second company of Delaware, fought shoulder 
to shoulder in the front of the battle — for the Delaware 
regiment was always there. We dwell with melancholy, 
but justifiable and patriotic pride, on the merits and 

* 13th. 



JAQUETT FAMILY 139 

services of that gallant corps, which during the War 
of Independence enlisted more than 4000 men, and at 
its close was reduced by battle and death to two com- 
panies, Kirkwood's and Jaquett's collected from the 
fragments of repeated and desperate conflicts. Major 
Caleb P. Bennett, the present Governor of our State, 
remains the only survivor of the commissioned officers 
of the regiment. Delaware makes but a poor figure on 
the pension list; few, very few of her Revolutionary 
soldiers survive to partake of the bounty or swell the 
burden of their country — their bones lay whitening on 
the fields of Princeton, Long Island, Brandywine, Ger- 
mantown, Monmouth, Camden, Cowpens, Guilford Court 
House, Ninety-six and Eutaw — days in which the Del- 
aware regiment was relied on as the elite of the army, 
always prompt with the bayonet, and never turning 
its back upon the foe. 

" In all these battles Major Jaquett was an ardent par- 
ticipator; at Camden, where the Delaware regiment was 
cut down from eight companies to two, and he and Kirk- 
wood were the only captains that survived — where the 
brave De Kalb, expiring under multiplied wounds, with 
his dying breath expressed his admiration and invoked 
the blessing of heaven upon the brave Delawares and 
Marylanders who had fought by his side; at Cowpens, 
where the Delawares and Marylanders, under Col. How- 
ard, turned the tide of battle, routed Tarleton's legion and 
secured a splendid victory; at Eutaw, where they ad- 
vanced with trailed arms upon the chivalry of England, 
and drove them from the field at the bayonet's point. 
In these, and in all the general actions fought in the 
Southern and Middle States, Jaquett and his comrades 
were to be seen fighting where the battle was hottest, and 
never retreating but from the sternest necessity, and then 
with their faces to the foe. Many instances of the gallant 
bearing of Major Jaquett have been related to us, one of 
which we cannot forbear to put on record. In the dis- 
astrous battle of Camden, and in the heat of that bloody 
conflict, the Baron De Kalb, while standing a little in ad- 



140 JAQUETT FAMILY 

vance of the Delaware regiment, had his horse shot under 
him, and as he lay endeavoring to extricate himself, a 
British horseman rushed upon him and was upon the 
point of putting the gallant veteran to the sword, when 
Jaquett sprung from the line, drove his spontoon through 
the Englishman, in sight of both armies, secured his 
horse and placed the Baron upon it. At this moment De 
Kalb received a fatal wound and fell into the arms of 
Jaquett, to whom his last words were expressive of grati- 
tude and admiration of his daring conduct. 

" When the war had ceased and his country's independ- 
ence was secured, Major Jaquett retired to his paternal 
farm — Long Hook — on the banks of the Christiana, where 
he resided to the day of his death. Here, retired from the 
busy scenes of the world, he led the life of an independent 
gentleman — seeking nothing for himself, but taking a 
warm interest in the growing prosperity of the country 
which he had so well served. His constitution, un- 
broken by the toils and sufferings of eight campaigns, 
was vigorous and robust ; his habits temperate and regu- 
lar ; and he enjoyed uninterrupted health until within a 
few months, when the death of his wife — she who for 
forty years had been the faithful and affectionate partner 
of his joys and cares — struck a blow from which he never 
recovered. The heart of the old soldier broke under this 
dispensation — he dragged out a weary existence for a few 
months, but the spirit and animation which in a remark- 
able degree distinguished him, had fled forever. 

"His death was characteristic of his life — he met the 
king of terrors with the calm intrepidity of a soldier, 
and just before he died, feeling his end approaching, he 
directed his attendants to raise him on his feet, that he 
might die standing — and breathed his last while they 
were complying with his wishes. 

" His remains were interred on the 15th, in the burying 
ground of the old Swedes' Church, with all the honors due 
to a distinguished soldier and patriot. A detachment of 
the Washington Grays, under Lieut. Ritchie, attended to 
pay the last military honors to the veteran. Sixty young 
men from Wilmington repaired to his residence to bear 



JAQUETT FAMILY 141 

his honored remains to their resting place, a distance of 
more than two miles. The Governor of the State, his 
last surviving comrade, was there as principal mourner; 
the Mayor and City Council and a vast concourse of citi- 
zens closed the procession. The bells were tolling during 
the day, and a volley of musketry fired by the detachment 
gave notice that the grave had closed over as brave and 
true a soldier as ever drew his sword for his country."

The following obituary notice, written by the Rev. 
Dr. Van Pelt, appeared in The Episcopalian of June 2, 
1869: 

"JAQUETT. — The Rev. Mr. Jaquett, whose departure from this 
life was announced in the last issue of The Episcopalian, was a native 



144 JAQUETT FAMILY 

of this City and a grandson of Dr. Joseph Pfeiffer, an eminent physi- 
cian, well known to the inhabitants of Philadelphia of the last gen- 
eration. 

"He was ordained both Deacon and Presbyter by Bishop White, 
and was, by him, much respected for his piety and learning. 

"At an early period of his ministry he became Rector of St. James 
the Greater, Bristol, Pa., and subsequently of St. Matthew's, Francis- 
ville, Philadelphia. His health having failed, he assumed the charge 
of no other Parish; but, while strength permitted, cheerfully, and 
without remuneration, assisted his clerical brethren in the discharge 
of their various duties. Of him it may be truly said, that he never 
turned a deaf ear to the cry of distress, or hesitated to bear the con- 
solation of religion to the habitation of woe. 

' ' Being thoroughly acquainted with the original languages of the 
Scriptures, he devoted a large portion of his time to the instruction 
of theological students in Hebrew, Chaldee, Syriac and Arabic; and 
not a few are there of our Bishops and Presbyters who are indebted 
to him for much that they know of these important studies. 

"In connection with the late Isaac Leeser, V. D. M. Synagogue, 
Mikva Israel, Philadelphia, he edited trie first American copy of the 
Hebrew Bible; and in the Latin introduction of that work, by Mr. 
Leeser, the literary and linguistic attainments of Mr. Jaquett are most 
gracefully acknowledged. 

" It is a remarkable fact, that in the library of the deceased, there 
is not to be found a single volume of published sermons. In his 
preparations for the pulpit he depended solely on his Bible, the aid 
of God's Holy Spirit, and the promptings of his own well furnished 
mind. 

"With the Chinese, Japanese, Persian, Turkish, Sanscrit, Gaelic, 
Welsh, Irish and Manx he had made himself more or less familiar. 
In reality, it may be asserted that there was scarcely a tongue spoken 
among the nations of the earth of which he had not some knowledge. 
To those who are curious about these matters a sight of the books 
which he possessed would be a rare treat. Among them are copies 
of most of the grammars and lexicons that have ever issued from 
the press. 

"But better than all this treasure of human lore, was the religious 
character of our deceased friend. He was, pre-eminently, ' a man 
of God.' Deprived for the last seven years of sight, unable to distin- 
guish between the glare of noonday and midnight darkness, not a 
murmur escaped his lips. He endured this severe dispensation of 
Providence with a patience and resignation which were emphatically 
wonderful. No one visiting him would have supposed for a moment 
that he was bearing so heavy a load of sorrow. Such entire forget- 
fulness of self, such sweet serenity of mind, such strong faith in the 
Divine wisdom and goodness, such heartfelt interest in the welfare 
and happiness of others, it has never been our lot to behold. It 



JAQUETT FAMILY 145 

would be no departure from truth to say that he was pure-minded 
as an infant, thinking evil of none, esteeming all others better than 
himself. Seeking not the honor that man can give, his only desire 
appeared to be to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord 
and Saviour Jesus Christ. Among the last distinct words which he 
was heard to utter, were these — 'I have no doubt of my acceptance 
with God.' 

His death was adverted to with terms of respect to 
his memory by Bishop Stevens in his Episcopal address 
to the 86th Diocesan Convention of this State. 

In a letter (the original of which is in the possession 
of E. J. Sellers) by George Sharswood, Chief Justice 
of Penna. (who had been a student of Mr. Jaquett of 
the Syriac language), to Townsend Ward, Esq., Sec- 
retary of the Historical Society of this State, he is thus 
referred to : 

"My Dear Sir, 

"I was very much pleased to observe the notice of the Rev. Joseph 
Jaquett in a note to Acrelius. I wish I had been consulted before — 
for I think I could have added some traits of his character which 
would be interesting. That he was a very profound and accurate 
Oriental scholar is unquestionable. He published together with the 
learned Jewish Rabbi Rev. Isaac Leeser in 1850 an edition of the 
Hebrew Bible — remarkable for its perfect correctness. I doubt if 
there is an error in a point in the whole volume. Mr. Jaquett was 
a firm believer in the antiquity and inspiration of the Hebrew point 
— that they were the work of Ezra and the men of the Great Syna- 
gogue — U pon the return of the Jews from the captivity, when the 
language ceased to be spoken, for the purpose of preserving its proper 
pronunciation, and that in this work as in collecting the canon they 
were under the immediate influence of the Holy Spirit. This was 
with him a favorite theme and he would descant upon it by the hour. 
He was also what has been termed a literalist— a believer in the exact 
fulfillment according to the letter of the prophecies in regard to the 
personal advent of our Saviour and the latter-day. 'Yes,' I have 
often heard him say ' his feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount 
of Olives which is before Jerusalem on the east and the Mount of 
Olives shall cleave, &c.' Zech. xiv, 4- His religion was of the purest 
and best kind— recognizing as a Christian brother all who loved the 
Lord Jesus Christ without regard to sect or party. He began to 
take great interest before he died in the question of the agreement 
of science with the Bible, and its confirmation or otherwise by the 
researches of Archaeologists. But to meet the most attractive feature 
in his character was his simplicity. He was guileless as a child. I

never saw a man who so entirely possessed that ornament of a meek 
and quiet spirit which in the' sight of God is of great price. I have 
seen him in a variety of circumstances — one under a very great trial — 
and I could not but admire the work of grace in the human soul in 
producing from our nature such a model of humility, gentleness, 
forbearance and love. He was the most tender and affectionate of 
husbands and fathers, and it is a great source of satisfaction with me 
that it fell to my lot to be of his profit and to enjoy his friendship 
and confidence.

"Pa. Mag.," vol. XL, p. 218, by D r - W m - Henry Egle: 

"Hunn, John, of the County of Philadelphia, was born in 1746, 
in Kent County, Delaware. His grandfather, Nathaniel Hunn, was 
an early settler on the Delaware. Of his children, John, the third 

son, married Tabitha , and had issue, John, Caleb, David, 

Susanna, and Elizabeth. John, the subject of our sketch, was brought 
up to a seafaring life, and was a captain in the merchant service at 
the breaking out of the War for Independence. He was an ardent 
patriot, and was intrusted with very important duties. In July, 
1776, he was in command of the privateer 'Security;' while in the 
following summer, when it was momentarily expected that the 
British fleet would attempt to pass up the Delaware, at the request 
of General Washington he was sent by the Council of Pennsylvania 
to the capes to give the earliest possible notice of the appearance of 
the enemy's vessels. In the campaign in and around Philadelphia 



152 JAQUETT FAMILY 

he seems to have been in active military service. In the subsequent 
events he was not an idle spectator, his energies being principally 
devoted to perfect plans to destroy the power of the enemy at sea. 
When the war closed he retired to private life, only coming to the 
front in times of great political excitement. As a Constitutionalist 
he was chosen to the Pennsylvania Convention in 1787, and signed 
the ratification. He took a prominent part at the meeting held in 
Philadelphia, June 22, 1795, in opposition to the Jay Treaty, and 
was appointed one of the Committee to prepare a memorial to the 
President. Captain Hunn died at Wilmington, Delaware, April 22, 
1 810, while on a visit to his daughter, M re - Rodney. The following 
description of him is given by his grand-daughter: 

"'He adhered to the old colonial style of dress, deep brown cloth 
with figured buff waistcoat, stock of fine cambric with tabs to buckle 
behind, ruffled shirt, and short clothes, buckled at the knee, white 
lamb-wool stockings, dried on boards cut to fit the shape, and blue 
buckles; a bright English rosy complexion, full deep brown eyes; 
frequented, as did all gentlemen, the Coffee-House on Second Street, 
and was often called in to settle disputed questions or rights, as 
honest Captain Hunn.' 

"Captain Hunn married, in 1776, Mary Sillsbee,* daughter of 
Nathaniel Sillsbee and Judith Jacquet, a descendant of John Paul 
Jacquet, who came from Sweden in 1650^ and was appointed by 
the Dutch commander on the South River. She died on the 20 th 
of November, 1805, aged fifty-three years. Of their children who 
reached maturity, Susan m. Caesar A. Rodney, of Delaware, and 
Maria m. Samuel Stockton Voorhees, of Philadelphia."

"Caesar Augustus Rodney, b. in Dover, Delaware, Jan. 4, 1772; 
d. in Buenos Ayres, South America, July 10, 1824. He was the son 
of Thomas Rodney, a distinguished jurist, and nephew of Caesar 
Rodney, signer of the Declaration of Independence. Caesar A. Rodney 
graduated at the University of Pennsylvania in 1789, studied law 
and was admitted to the bar in 1793, and practised at Wilmington, 
Del. He was elected to Congress from Delaware as a Democrat, 
serving from Oct. 17, 1803, until March 3, 1805; was a member of

the Committee of Ways and Means, and one of the managers in the 
impeachment of Judge Samuel Chase. In 1807 he was appointed by- 
President Jefferson Attorney General of the United States, which 
place he resigned in 181 1. During the war with Great Britain in 
1812 he commanded a rifle corps in Wilmington, which was after- 
ward changed to a light artillery company, which did good service 
on the frontiers of Canada. 

"In 1 8 13 he was a member of the Delaware Committee of Safety. 
He was defeated for Congress, and in 181 5 was State Senator from 
New Castle County. In 18 17 he was sent to South America by 
President Monroe as one of the Commissioners to investigate and 
report upon the propriety of recognizing the independence of the 
Spanish-American republics, which course he strongly advocated 
on his return to Washington. 

"In 1820 he was re-elected to Congress, and in 1822 he became 
a member of the U. S. Senate, being the first Democrat that had a 
seat in that body from Delaware. He served until Jan. 27, 1823, 
when he was appointed Minister to the United Provinces of La Plata. 
With John Graham he published 'Reports on the Present State of 
the United Provinces of South America.' London, 18 19."

testamentary issued to widow, same date. Inventory 
Oct. 15, 1702. Appraisers: Walter Hughstis, Gelious

The will of the widow is dated Jan. 22, 1702 She 
is styled as of Penn's Neck. She bequeathed her estate 
to her children, who are not mentioned by name. She 
appoints as executors, Johannis Varymy, Nathaniel Jeans, 
Walter Hughstis, and William Shuby. Witnesses: Isaac

and Armanka Everston. Recorded April 16, 1703. Let-

Paul Jaquet and Mary , his wife, had issue: 

850. John, eldest son. 

851. Paul; inherited his father's land at White Clay Creek, 

Delaware, and, doubtless, lived there, as he disappears 
from the Salem records. 

852. Peter; he had from his father the land at Penn's Neck 

called "Ard Johnson's Land," being 95 acres, upon which 
he resided. He d. in 1721, as his will, dated Nov. 27, 
1721, was proved Jan. 25, 1721-2 (Liber II., West Jersey- 
Wills, p. 222). His wife's name was Sarah. She was liv-

1 1 86. Joseph, father of 

1 187. Peter, b. circa 1740; m. Feb. 15,

Records). 

853. Casparus, probably d. young. 

854. Mary or Maria; inherited an equal half part in her father's 

land at New Castle, Del. She is the Maria (4) mentioned 
in first edition at p. 107, where she is incorrectly placed 
as dau. of John Paul Jaquet (2), the latter being John 
only, and her father being Paul. The error in first edition 
was due to the fact that it was not known that Jean 
Paul Jaquet (338) had three sons, one of whom, Paul, 
settled in N. J., which was discovered by finding the bap- 



158 JAQUETT FAMILY 

tism of the son Paul, already mentioned. She m. Baron 
Isaac Baner (or Banner). He came to Pennsylvania circa 
1695, and first lived at Phila. He had been in the serv- 
ice of William III. of England. He spent some time at 
Christiana and went to Penn's Neck, where he m., the 
ceremony being performed by a magistrate of the peace, 
according to the custom. He d. Nov. n, 17 13, and was 
bur. Nov. 14, 1713 (Swedesboro Rec). His widow and 
children went to Sweden in 1727. He is said to have 
been a grandson of General John Baner, who succeeded 
Gustavus Adolphus in the command of the Swedish armies. 
The Rev. Mr. Lidenius, upon his return to Sweden in 
1724, represented to the Lieutenant General, Baron John 
Baner, and also to the Royal Counsellor, Count Axel Baner, 
the condition of the children of Baron Isaac Baner in 
America, in consequence of which they were brought to 
Sweden in 1727. (For fuller account, see 1st ed., pp. 
107, 108, and Acrelius' "His. of New Sweden," p. 324). 
Baron Isaac Baner was a witness to his mother-in-law's 
will, where his name is spelled Banner. They had issue: 

1 188. (No. 11 in 1st ed.). Maria, m. a man whose 

mother was of the family of Philip Van der 
Veer. (See Acrelius.)

1 191. (No. 14 in 1st ed.) Claes, d. 2 mos. old.

New Castle; m. June 18, 17 18, Lars Nilson (Swedesboro 
Rec). 

VIII 850 John Jaquet, eldest son of Paul Jaquet 

(349) and Mary , inherited his father's land called 

"Steyne Hook," at Penn's Neck, Salem County, New 
Jersey, where he resided. He was of full age Jan. 8, 
1 7 14-15, when he conveyed a lot of four acres to St. 
George Church at Penn's Neck. 

In the "History of New Sweden" by Acrelius, p. 323 
(in possession of the Penn. His Soc), it is stated: "Jean 
Jaquett gave two acres* of land for the purpose [of build - 

*The statement of two acres is a mistake, as appears by reading a copy of the deed 
which is taken from the records of St. George's Church, at Pennsville: 

"Deed of Gift extracted from the Register's at Swedesborough. 

"To all Christian people to whom these presents shall come, I John Jaquet of Pens- 
neck in the county of Salem and province of New West Jersey, Yeoman, send greeting.

PHILIPPIN FAMILY 




The arms of the Philippin family have been repro- 
duced from "Armoiries neufchateloises tirees des Rolles 

bourgeois et des Manuscrits de la 
Ville et Biblioteque de Neufchatel 
publices par Maurice Tripet et Jules 
Colin. Institut heraldrique. Neuf- 
chatel, 1893. 

The illustration, it is stated, is from 
a manuscript of 1550. It should be 
described as gu. tin tertre de trots 
coupe aux de sin., somme de deux 
palmes adossees d'arg. Rietstap de- 
scribes the arms as d'arg. a un tertre 
de trots coupeaux de sin., somme de 
deux palmes adossees du meme, ace. en chef d'une etoile (5) 
de gu. This description was probably adopted later for 
differentiation. 

The family appears to have come from Metz in Lor- 
raine, France. 

I. 1. Girard Philippin is the first of the family to 
whom the ancestry has been traced. Extracts from the 
Registers of the Council, Government Archives, Geneva : 
April 28, 1 410, Girard Philippin from Metz in Lorena 
(Lorraine), centurerius, was received in suffertam (as a 
resident) . 

Tuesday, in the feast of the beheading of blessed John, 
May 6, 1410, was received as a bourgeois Girardus 
Philipi [ni] from Mes in Lorena, centurerius, an inhabi- 
tant of Geneva, in manner and form as above, he to pay 
two florins within the feast of Michael, two within An-

Lord. He gives security through Jacobum Pichot. 
Girard Philippin had issue: 

2. Johannes. 

II. 2. Johannes Philippin, son of Girard Philippin 
(i), m. Jaquemine, dau. of Peter Balme (des Balmes), 
July 28, 1447; he made acknowledgment of holding 
lands at Geneva, which land his father Girard Philippin 
purchased of Peter Bollet alias Jusset (Grosses du 
chapitre de Saint Perre, No. 26). 

Records of the Council (in latin) : Oct. 29, 1460, came 
Johannes Philippin, with a number of others, who peti- 
tioned for leave to convene a general council concerning 
leva facta, etc. (slight matters), which petition was allowed 
and the next day was fixed for the same. (In Latin) : 
May 19, 1473, John Philippin is mentioned present as a 
Councillor. Minutes of Jean Novel, Notary, Vol. I, folio 
108. (In Latin): Aug. 4, 1468, the discrete man Peter 
Lile, in behalf of Johannette, daughter of Peter Balme, 
widow of Peter Rivillio, of Geneva, and Johannes Philip- 
pin, in behalf of Jaquemina his wife, daughter of said 
Peter Balme, of Geneva, release all interest in certain 
meadows situate in Fernay to the noble Johanni de 
Nauto. Anthoine, daughter of the said Johannette and 
Peter Rivillio mentioned. 

Minutes of Humbert Perrod, Notary, vol. XXII, 
folio 211: May 27, 1474, Johan Philippin, centurerium, 
citizen of Geneva, son of the late Girard Philippin, cen- 
turerius, and Jaquemina, wife of the said Johan and 
daughter of late Peter Balme, sartoris (planter) convey 
to Bartholomew De Monte, alias Bernardi, de Bona 
merchant, bourgeois of Geneva, certain land at Geneva. 

The Balme (des Balmes) family was settled at Geneva 
at an early date. In "Armorial Genevois," page 48, it 
is thus referred to: des Balmes— Les Balmes, from 
Sillingy, Geneva. First member received as a bourgeois 
was Henri, a jurisconsul in 1354. A member of the family 
was Syndic in 1354; of the Council of One Hundred in

1520; of the Council of Two Hundred in 1533 ; Chauoine 

(Canon) in 1323. It became extinct at Geneva in the 

sixteenth century.

her universal heir Gabriel Pasteur, her son, and John Philip- 
pin, her brother as executors. 

7. Jean. 

IV. 7. Jean Philippin, son of Anthony Philippin, (4), 
is thus referred to by Mr. Louis Dufour-Vernes, the State 
Archivist at Geneva: 

"Jean Philippin was a citizen of Geneva. In a deed 
of Notary Aime Santeur, I, 156, he is called 'Lord of 
Pierre,' the name of a locality with a castle, close to 
Collogne, in the land of Gex. He was born about 1491. 
and died at the Molard at the age of ninety, Sept. 
5, 1 581. On the 26th of April, 1525, he founded 
with Odinet Bitry, a merchant of Dijon, before Tres- 
billon, a royal notary, a partnership, which had its head- 
quarters at the Molard. It was dissolved Oct. 8, 1527, 
(Notary Claude de Compois, vol. VI, p. 187), before 
Claude de Compois, a notary at Geneva, with full set- 
tlement of all claims. Undoubtedly Bitry was often 
absent on account of the business of the house, for on 
the 7th of Sept., 1525 (de Compois, IV, 159), he 
gave Philippin charge to direct improvements and re- 
pairs of a house with tower of his own at Pougny, in 
the land of Gex. The relations between them dated 
before their association, for on the 27th of Feb., 
1524 (same Notary, III, 259), Bitry gave to Philippin 
a letter of attorney to recover certain sums of money. 
The latter retained his relations with la Bourgoyne. 
In 1548 the Council permitted him (he was a syndie 
still) to go into that country for ten or twelve days, 
in order to transact some business. 

"Jean Philippin had a sister, Antoina, who was mar- 
ried to Pierre Pasteur, bourgeois. By a last will which 



176 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 

she made December 9, 1534 (same Notary, II, 134), it 
is seen that Jean Philippin had daughters to whom she 
leaves bequests, and she appoints him executor of her 
will. Jean Philippin was a Member of the Council of 
Two Hundred in 1530 and of the Small Council in 1533. 
He was elected Syndic Feb. 7, 1535, and subsequently 
every four years, in 1540, 1544, 1548 (First Syndic) and 
1552. May 2, 1536, report came to the council that 
Councillor Jean Philippin was detained in Dijon and it 
was resolved to send thither as an ambassador his cousin 
Jean Favre to have him released. In 1545 Philippin 
was appointed Lieutenant of Police. 

"As was often the case in those times, he was very 
peremptory, and one of those Genevans who saw in 
the religious reformation nothing but a means to gain 
political independence. He did not always render the 
required obedience even to the civil power. Thus it 
was that on the 10th of Aug., 1546, when holding 
the high office of Lieutenant of Police, the Small Coun- 
cil sharply rebuked him for having spoken ill of min- 
isters who preached against the pope, for having re- 
leased Jean Favre, a notorious blasphemer, and for hav- 
ing refused to work at the trenches, saying that the 
Seigniory was rich enough to have fortifications made 
without his aid, &c. 

"The following year, 1547, in the month of June, he 
was sent as Deputy to Bale, in order to obtain recovery 
of the territory of Thiez, a tract of land not far from 
Geneva, which was taken from the Republic by the 
Duke of Savoy pursuant to the conquest of Chablais 
by the people of Berne. 

"In 1550 Philippin was appointed Hospitaler and Re- 
ceiver of Grains for the tax levied by the Seigniory; 
later again sent as Deputy to Bale for an affair concern- 
ing some individual. In 1556 he was made Castellan 
(governor) of the territory of Peney. 

"Philippin was not reappointed Syndic in 1556, al- 
though recommended by the Small Council of the Gen- 
eral Council (i.e. the whole of bourgeois and citizens).

He was then sixty-five years old. He left the Small 
Council in 1557 and the Council of Sixty as well as 
that of the Two Hundred in 1558. He continued occu- 
pying himself, but sought to get rid of business. Thus 
in 1566 he asked to be excused of the guardianship of 
the heirs of Gaspard Favre and to restore Domaine 
Favre to it, because, he said, he was still charged with 
that of the heirs of Claude de la Corbiere, his grand- 
children. This latter guardianship brought him in great 
trouble with the other members of the family, which 
came to its height in 1578, when he was 87 years of 
age. 

"The will of Jean Philippin has not been found." 

Jean Philippin m. Anthoyne, dau. of Guigne Compte 
and Madeleine Corvillion, dau. of Bernoit Corvillion, as 
will hereafter appear. 

"Armorial Genevois," previously mentioned, contains 
an illuminated illustration of the Comte arms, but 
omits the description, which is d'arg. a deux pals de 
gu., une bande d'azur brochante sur le tout; au chef d' azure 
char gee de trots etoiles (5) d'arg. 

Mr. Dufour-Vernes : 

" Guigne (Guigoz) Comte was a citizen of Geneva and 
generally styled "noble." Hem.

Corvillion, probably from Laus- 
anne in the land of Vaud, and 
must have d. before Oct. 19, 1524. 
His widow m. Etienne Curtilliet, 
surnamed Pecolat, a citizen of 
Geneva (marriage contract before 
de Compois, Aug. 14, 1525.). The 
Pecolats played a role in the 
foundation of Geneva's independ- 
ence. 

" Guigne Comte must have been a native of the Prov- 
ince of Franche Comte in France (now the Jura Depart- 
ment), for he had as a first cousin Sire Francois Comte 
of the locality of Sirod in the Jura Department. The

daughters of Guigne Comte, Antoina (dame Philippin) and 
Perrine were the universal heirs of this Francois Comte, 
as appears by a summary inventory of the possessions 
of the said Comte, dated March 30, 1530 (Notary de Com- 
pois), in the presence of Jean Philippin. Among the 
debtors mentioned is found Sire Pierre Corvillion of Lau- 
sanne. Comte made his will Jan. 20, 1542, with a codicil 
of Mar. 16, 1543 (both before de Compois), but these two 
instruments are not found in that notary's protocols. 
Guigne Comte had a son Boniface, who caused Philippin 
much annoyance with regard to the successions of 
Francois and Guigne Comte. Boniface had as guardian 
Francois Comte, a son of the late Pierre, evidently the 
same one who made the Misses Comte his heirs. Francois 
Comte had paternal and maternal possessions in the land 
of Dortant, Department of l'Ain, in the territory of St. 
Claude and in Bourgoyne. He had as brothers Guil- 
laume and Pierre, who entering upon bourgeoisie in 1481 
were said to have come from Siege in the territory of 
Dortant. They made their deed of partition (Notary de 
Campois, VIII., 142) at the Molard, in the house of 
Jean Philippin. Another instrument of Feb. 25, 1527 
(Same notary, V. 243), shows the relations which must 
have existed between Guigne Comte, then deceased, and 
Francois Comte. I do not find the name of Guigne 
Comte's father. 

" Noble Jean Favre, citizen, who left some estate to 
Antoina Comte, wife of Philippin, must have been a son 
of Jean Favre, bourgeois, a native of Echallons in the land 
of Vaud. This family flourishes to this day in Geneva, 
where it belongs to the first rank. Jean Favre, then, 
was some relation to Antoina Comte or her husband, 
because he left him some estate, is called in the record of 
the Council a cousin of Philippin, and the latter had the 
guardianship of the children of Gaspard Favre, a nephew 
of the said Jean, and a son of Francois Favre, one of the 
founders of Genevan independence. Jean Favre and 
his two brothers Antoine and Francois assisted at the 
confirmation of combourgeoisie of Geneva with Berne

and Fribourg in 1520. He seems to have had no 
children."

On Sunday the eighth of February of the year of the nativity 
of our Lord one thousand five hundred and forty, — being the first 
Sunday after the second day of February, on which it is customary 
to elect the Seigniors Syndics of Geneva, in order to rule and govern 
the people of this city, — the General Council of Geneva assembled, 
after the ancient manner, at the tolling of the large bell of Saint 
Peter's Cloister, and appeared before them the Seignoirs Jehan Co- 
quet, Girardin De Laz Rivaz, Anthoenne Chicand and Hudriod Du 
Moulin, all of them citizens and syndics for the past year one thousand 
five hundred and thirty nine, who brought with them and handed 
over the four syndic's batons, making the customary excuses, &c. 

It was moved, as is also customary, to elect in Ordinary Council 
on Tuesday next and subsequently in the Council of Two Hundred 
on Friday next eight citizens to be presented to the General Council, 
in order that this body or others, pursuant to ancient customs and 
constitutions of this city, may select four who will appear to them 
most proper and adapted to rule and govern the people to the glory 
of God and the benefit of the city. 

Afterwards were published the votes cast for the Eight, as well 
in Ordinary Council as in the Council of Two Hundred, to wit, of the 
upper party for the Nobles, Anthoienne Girbel, Jehan Philippin, 
Jehan Chappuys and Pierre Tissot, and of the lower party for Estienne 
Chappeaurouge, Estienne Dadaz, Amyer Baudiere and Francoys 
Lullin. On which Eight was acted till every one had cast his vote 
which votes one after another in succession were written down by 
Jaques Symaud, general treasurer of the city, and by me, Pierre 
Ruffi, citizen and secretary of the Council.

everyone what belongs to him, upholding the good ones and punish- 
ing the bad ones without fear or favor. Item we further promise 
to do and observe what the office of syndic and councilor comprises, 
and may God be our witness of all that and punish us if we act con- 
trarily. 

This being done, on motion of the Seigniors Ancient Syndics,

Diminution to the profit of noble Jehan Philippin. 

We, Francoys Depreztavel, Lord of Granges, notify all men by 
these presents, that since noble Jehan Philippin, a citizen of Geneva, 
holds and possesses from our fief and domain the following things and 
pieces: Firstly, a piece of meadow measuring a sextary, situate in the 
territory of Choulier, at the place called "en praz Lanvoen," adjoin- 
ing east the meadow of Jehan and Jaques Poutex, west, south and 
north the meadow of the said no. Jehan Philippin; which was of the 
possessions and recognizance of the late Pierre, Glaude and Olivier 
Vyonnet, of Thoyrier. Item, two pieces of meadow situate in the 
said territory and place of "pre" Lanvoen," measuring together about 
a sextary of meadow, the first of which adjoins north the meadow of 
Jaques and Jehan Poutex and their co-partitioners, south the meadow 
of the said no. Jehan Philippin above described, west the meadow of 
the said noble Philippin, and east the meadow of the said Poutexes; 
the other near by adjoins north the meadow of the said Jehan and 
Jaques Poutex, south the meadow of the said no. Jehan Philippin 
and faces the meadow of the said no. Philippin east and west, of the 
possessions and recognizances of Jehan, a son of the late Pierre Guil- 



182 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 

Hand, of Choulier, under a rent or annual service of two pennies of 
money. Item, another piece of meadow, measuring about half a 
sextary, situate in the said territory at the aforesaid place, adjoining 
north the meadow of the said Poutexes, south, east and west the 
meadow of the said no. Philippin; of the aforesaid possessions and 
recognizance, under the rent of half a quart of wheat, a half quart and 
the fourth part of a half quart of oats, Pigney measure, as before. 
Item, a piece of land measuring about a forte pose (?) situate in the 
said territory of Choulier, at the place called "en les Plantes," ad- 
joining south ground of the heirs of Baptazard Borgeys, north ground 
of Amyed Poutex, and facing east the public road leading from 
Choulier to Cre"durier, and west another road leading from Cr^durier 
to the road Mugnydre; of the aforesaid possessions and recognizance, 
under the rent of five Geneva sous and a bichet of wheat, Satignyer 
measure. Item about half a pose of land, situate in the territory of 
the Commons, adjoining north ground of the said no. Philippin which 
was of Jacquemet Boyvin, south ground of the said no. Philippin 
which was of Jaquet Dufour, and facing east the Commons of Peycier 
and west ground of the aforesaid Jehan Philippin; of the possessions 
and recognizance of Claude and Jehan Dufourt, surnamed Rasez, of 
Choulier, under the rent of four Geneva pennies. 

Which rents, taken together, amount to three quarts of wheat, a 
half quart and a half carte of oats, and five sous and six pennies of 
Geneva money. 

And whereas these pieces are charged with the said rents, there- 
fore they could never fall into sterility or be left vacant of tenants 
and considering this, we — at the request of the said noble Jehan Philip- 
pin, to this effect made to us — did and by these presents do reduce, 
diminish and convert all these above described and mentioned rents 
and tributes of the said no. Jehan Philippin and his heirs and suc- 
cessors whosoever, to twelve pennies money, reserving to ourselves 
only the said twelve pennies on the pieces with the fief and tenure in 
capite, and lord's dues for alienation as often as may come to pass. 
And this we did and do, in consideration of twenty florins, small 
weight, duly had and received by us from the said noble Philippin, 
whereof we solve and acquit him, by these presents; divesting our- 
selves of the hereabove reduced and diminished rents and investing 
the said no. Philippin with them, always save the aforesaid reserva- 
tions. And promising by our oath and good faith, and under pledge 
of our goods, to observe these presents towards the said Philippin 
and his successors whosoever. Renouncing all rights, franchises and 
liberties by means of which we might contravene these. 

In testimony whereof we have granted these presents to the said 
Philippin. 

Given in Geneva, under the seal and manual signature of our 
undersigned commissary of our mandate, here written in testi- 
mony of the truth, on this twentieth day of the month of December

forty-seven. 

Thus passed and reduced by the said Lord of the Granges.

written the public affairs touching the community, beginning this 
Sunday, the fifth of February of the year of the nativity of our Lord 
one thousand five hundred and forty eight. 

1548. 

In the name of God. Amen. 

The General Council being assembled in Saint Peter's Cloister 
by trumpet call, the tolling of the large bell, and in the customary 
way, proceeded to the election and appointment of our venerable 
Seigniors Syndics and Governors who are to officiate in the present 
and next year, commencing to-day, as Seigniors, protectors and ad- 
ministrators of and for the people (with their Councils, nevertheless), 
they being already nominated by the Ordinary Council on Tuesday 
last and subsequently by the Council of Two Hundred on Friday 
last; in order to be presented to the General Council to-day, they 
being elected for the people conformably to ancient custom by 
majority of votes to the number of eight, four of whom, according to 
the edicts and ordinances on this subject, must be accepted by the 
said General Council on Sunday, the 5th of February, 1548, aforesaid. 

After previously invoking the help of God Almighty by offering 
prayer as customary, the Seigniors ancient Syndics of last year whose 
terms expire to-day, to wit, the nobles Girardin De La Rive, Anthoine 
Chicaud, Hudrio du Mollars and Francoy Beguin, all of them citizens 
of Geneva, made earnest remonstrances and exhortations to the 
people to elect to the office of Syndic honest and well informed 
men who will promote the advancement of the glory of God 
and the weal of the people, and having done this, they made their 
excuses, &c. 

Consequently, in conformity with the edicts, the people nominated 
the eight Seigniors, who received a majority of the votes in Ordinary 
Council and in the Council of Two Hundred, four of whom must be 
accepted as Seignoirs Syndics, the four nominated for above being 
Seigniors Pernet Defosses, late treasurer, Pierre Tissot, Pierre Wandel 
and Michael Morel, and for below the Seigniors Jehan Philippin, Est- 
ienne Chapeauroge, Henry Aubert and Pierre Bonaz. 

Previous, however, to giving everyone an opportunity for ex 
pressing his opinion, the required oath sworn with uplifted hand 
was taken, the contents of which are as follows: 

(Form of oath for the election of the Seigniors Syndics.) 

We promise and swear to God, before the Seigniory, to elect and 
appoint to the office of Syndic those whom we think proper and 
adapted as well to uphold the honor of God and the Christian religion 
in this city, as to guide and govern the people in good policy and 
preserve the common weal, and that, in electing, we shall have in 
view only the public welfare and not any particular inclination either 



184 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 

of hatred or favor, and that God be witness of this promise, that 
He may judge us if we should act contrarily 

The said oath having been taken, one after another came in good 
order to vote by naming only four of the eight candidates for the 
office of Syndic who were nominated and presented to them, and on 
counting the votes the majority of the same were cast for Seigniors 
Syndics as follows: 

For above on the nobles: 

Pernet Defosses and 
Pierre Wandel. 

For below on the nobles: 

Jehan Philippin and 
Estienne Chapeauroge, 
who have been elected, published and appointed by the people, con- 
sidering them agreeable and accepting the four above named ones 
as our Seigniors Syndics for the present year, with all the accustomed 
honors, preeminences, charges, salaries and commodities. And for 
the present everyone withdrew. 

On the said Sunday, February 5, 1548, after dinner, the Seigniors 
ancient Syndics who, according to ancient customs, go out of office 
to-day, came to the city hall and sent for the four gentlemen who 
were to-day elected Syndics, namely, the nobles Jehan Philippin, 
Pernet De Fosses, Estienne Chapeauroge and Pierre Wandel who, 
with uplifted hand, took the following oath: 

(Form of oath for the Seigniors Syndics.) 

We promise and swear to faithfully acquit ourselves of the duties 
of our office, firstly, to maintain and defend as much as is in our 
power, the liberty and the rights of the city, to honestly administer 
that which we shall have in hand, to dispense good and straight 
justice rendering to everyone what is due them, sustaining the good 
ones and punishing the malefactors without favor or hatred. We 
further promise and swear to observe and perform that which is 
comprised in the office of Syndic, and may God be our witness of 
all this, punishing us if we should act contrarily. 

Seating of the Seigniors Syndics. 

Considering the qualities of the persons and the dignity of the 
offices to which the newly elected Seigniors Syndics were raised, it 
was advised and ordered that the first syndic's seat shall be occupied 
by Seignior Jehan Philippin, the second by Seignior Perret De Fosses, 
the third by Seignior Estienne Chapeaurouge, and the fourth by 
Seignior Pierre Wandel, who took possession of their said places 
and to whom were handed and distributed the keys to the chests 
in which the rights of the city are preserved, that they may guard 
them well and securely. 

The seals and colors of the heralds were handed over by Seignior 
De La Rive, Ancient Syndic, to Seignior Jehan Philippin, first Syndic.

Testament of the noble Anthoyne Compte, widow of the late 
noble Jehan Philippin. 

In the name of God. Amen. Be it known and manifest to all 
men, now and in future, that in the current year of our Lord one 
thousand five hundred and eighty five, on the eleventh day of the 
month of March, before me the undersigned Philibert Blondel, citizen 
and sworn notary public of Geneva, in the presence of the herein- 
after named witnesses, personally appeared and identified herself 
the noble Anthoyne, daughter of the late noble Guigoz Compte and 
widow of the late noble Jehan Philippin, in his life time a citizen 
of said Geneva; who, by the grace of God, being of good memory, 
judgment and understanding, but infirm and sick in body, on account 
of which she is confined to her bed, considering the changes and 
vicissitudes of this world, the frailty of the human race subject to 
the mortal tribute of death, from which it cannot be exempted and 
the hour for the payment of which is unknown; further considering 
that it is a very useful thing to prevent, by testamentary disposition, 
all eventual quarrels and contests over the goods which God has 
given us, rather than to wait until overtaken by death; having this 
forethought, she has by herself conceived to make it appear to pos- 
terity what has been and now is her good and last will; requesting 
me, the said notary public, to write it out in manner following: 

In the first place, she gives thanks to our good God and father 
for so many good things as he has granted her, having called her to 
the knowledge of his Holy Word and made her a partaker of the 
body and precious blood of our only Saviour and Redeemer, Jesus 
Christ, whose death she embraces by a living faith, she having thereby 
obtained life everlasting and being purged of original sin to which 
the human race is subjected having no other foundation nor hope 
of salvation than in his precious death and blood which he has shed 
for us, poor sinners, on the cross to satisfy all our faults and sins 
through which we are held to his judgment; beseeching that it may 



PHILIPPIN FAMILY 187 

please him not to impute her transgressions but cover them by his 
free grace and the merit of the death of our only Saviour and Re- 
deemer; making her a partaker — as she relies upon it — of the blessed 
life ordered and prepared for his faithful elect, of the number of 
whom she believes to be through the testimonies contained in his 
holy Word which she has imprinted in her heart; moreover asking 
him for increase and strength of faith until the last breath of her 
life. 

With regard to her body, when the soul shall have parted from 
it, she desires that it be buried, in accordance with the ordinances 
of our Sovereign Lords, in the place established for that purpose. 
And in order to cut off all differences and litigation which might 
arise after her decease with respect to her possessions of dotal settle- 
ment and the increase thereof, as well as those obtained during mar- 
riage with her said late beloved husband, she has now made a true 
and faithful settlement of them, by which she wishes to stand with- 
out any other formality or inquiry, as making this statement a word 
of truth in view of the end of her days. 

Firstly, she says and states to have brought her late husband, 
as a dotal settlement, a sum of one thousand florins, according to 
the articles of marriage existing, to which she refers, and of which 
sum an increase is due her conformably to the edicts. Item, says 
to have received from the estate of the late noble Jehan Favre, in his 
life time a citizen of Geneva, a sum of five hundred crowns, a house 
called "La Pillesseric," Item, a piece of vineyard with trellis, sit- 
uate at Se'cheron, which has also come to her from the estate of the 
said Favre. Item, says that she got from the estate of the late Fran- 
joys Compte, a first cousin of her late father, two hundred florins 
in a mortgage on two pieces of meadowland, one situate about Arve 
and the other about Collogni, and also some furniture the largest 
and best part of which her son, noble Anthoyne Philippin, has taken 
possession of. Finally says and states that she has her clothes and 
accoutrements and four gold rings. 

Disposing of the said goods by this present nuncupative and 
written testament and last will, she gives and bequeaths unto the 
poor of the General Hospital of this city twenty-five florins. Item, 
unto the College of this city also twenty-five florins, all for once, 
to be paid by her hereinafter named heir shortly after her decease. 
Item, gives and bequeaths unto Jeanne, Pernette and Francoyse, 
her granddaughters conceived by the late Clauda Philippin, her first 
daughter, formerly wife of the late Egrere Pierre Vachat, a sum of 
fifty shining gold crowns, for once, to be evenly divided between 
them, and to be paid by her hereinafter named heir a year after her 
decease, appointing them in this solely her particular heirs and in 
consequence of the said sum debarring and excluding them from all 
of her said possessions present and future. Item, gives and bequeaths 
unto the honorable Jehan Corbi^re, her grandson conceived by the 
late Pernette Phillippin, her second daughter, a sum of fifty shining 



188 PHILIPPIN FAMILY 

gold crowns, for once, payable by her said hereinafter named heir 
a year after her decease, the said Corbiere, however, to give good 
and sufficient security for this sum to the benefit of the hereinafter 
stated substitution, and in this appoints him her particular heir, 
debarring and excluding him in consequence thereof from all of her 
other possessions, present and future. Item, gives and bequeaths 
unto Elizabeth, widow of Sire Francoys Jacquet, her third daughter, 
a sum of fifty shining gold crowns, for once, and a gold ring (inas- 
much as she has not given her one at her wedding), to be paid by 
her said heir a year after her decease, and appoints her in this her 
particular heir, debarring and excluding her from all of her posses- 
sions, present and future. Item, gives and bequeaths unto Anna 
Philippin, her fourth daughter, widow of Pierre Balexert, a like sum 
of fifty shining gold crowns and a gold ring (also because she has 
not given her one at her wedding), to be paid by her said hereinafter 
named heir a year after her decease, and appoints her in this her 
particular heir, debarring and excluding her in consequence thereof 
from all of her possessions present and future. Item, gives and be- 
queaths unto Pernette Philippin, wife of Sire George Adelhard, 
her fifth and last daughter, a sum of fifty shining gold crowns, for 
once, to be paid a year after her decease by the said hereinafter 
named heir, appointing her in this her particular heir and debarring 
and excluding her in consequence thereof from all of her said pos- 
sessions, present and future. And if her said surviving daughters 
and her grandsons and granddaughters begotten by Claude and 
Pernette, her two deceased daughters, should die without leaving 
children lawfully begotten from their body, in such case she sub- 
stitutes for them in the ordinary manner and by way of forfeiture 
her said hereinafter named heir, provided, however, that the said 
Jeanne, Pernette and Francoyse Vachat shall succeed to the said 
sum if it should happen that all of them died one after the other 
without legitimate children, and these three also dying without legit- 
imate children she desires that the whole shall return to her said heir. 
Item, gives and bequeaths and by right of legacy leaves unto Su- 
sanne and Jeanne her granddaughters begotten by the said Pernette, 
sum of twenty-five crowns to be paid by the said heir to each of 
them one-half when they shall come to the holy state of matrimony. 
Item, whereas the said noble Anthoyne Philippin, her son, has made 
himself disobedient and contumacious to the admonitions which 
have repeatedly been given him as well by her, testatrix, as by his 
late father, the noble Jehan Philippin, to part from and not asso- 
ciate with the woman whom he has married against their wishes, 
because she was leading a bad life and had no good name or repu- 
tation, he, instead of listening to such fatherly and motherly remon- 
strances to better himself, has married her, an impious person in 
popedom, although it is true that she, testatrix, having once been 
sent by her late husband to Point d' Arve, where the said Anthoyne 
then was, she fell on her knees before him, imploring him with tears 



PHILIPPIN FAMILY 189 

to give up his bad association with the said woman (whom he did 
not marry until four years later), to which he was indifferent, thus 
turning his back upon her prayer and, notwithstanding all command- 
ments of justice, persevered in his obdurateness, having moreover 
gone from bad to worse, without coming to any betterment of life, — 
nevertheless, for the honor of the said Anthoyne, she refrains from 
making greater statement of the wrongs which he has perpetrated, 
on account of which and of his said disobedience she wholly and 
forever rejects and excludes him from all of her said possessions, 
present and future, in consideration of a sum of five florins which 
she directs shall be paid him after her death. 

And because the only and principal foundation of a testament, 
is the hereditary institution, without which all ordinances and dis- 
positions of last will are void, therefore she has made, instituted and 
created, and by these presents does make, institute, create and ap- 
point with her own mouth noble Pierre Philippin, her very dear 
much beloved and obedient son, her universal and general heir, by 
whom she wishes, that all her debts, legacies and other charges shall 
be satisfied and paid without any form of process. For such is her 
last intention and ultimate nuncupative and written will, which she 
desires to be held as such, wishing that this present nuncupative 
testament, committed to writing, and disposition of last will shall 
hold good and take effect as well by right of nuncupative testament 
passed into writing, as by right of codicil, donation on account of 
death and all such means by which it could and should be more agree- 
ably to law and the edicts of our sovereign Lords. Revoking, break- 
ing and cancelling all other testaments, codicils, dispositions and 
donations on account of death by means of this present her last 
testament which she wishes to take effect. Praying the hereinafter 
named witnesses to keep these things well in mind, so as to bear 
witness about them at the time required, and me notary to make 
hereof as many instruments and clauses in favor of the heir and leg- 
atees appointed as will be required. 

Done and expressed at said Geneva, in the house of the said noble 
Philippin on the Mollard, in the front room with stove, the said tes- 
tatrix lying on the sickbed, in the presence of noble Jehan Favre, 
Abraham Maillard, George Orset, Pierre Guinoyseau, Gilles Gaury 
Ozias Osset, and Pierre Magnin, all of them citizens, as well as in- 
habitants of said Geneva, witnesses recognized, requested, and re- 
quired by the said testatrix and me the said notary.
